It's Official: San Francisco Weirdness Is Now a Big Part of Oakland

Erin Sherbert Jun 3, 2014 14:00 PM

The latest San Francisco trend has been to move to Oakland, and as a longtime Oakland resident, we can tell you their presence has been felt.

A few unexpected changes we've noticed since San Franciscans started moving to our town: You can no longer get a 1-bedroom apartment for under $1,000; former friends who shunned us for living in Oakland have since moved to Oakland (we're still not friends); and downtown has attracted two important San Francisco fixtures: Ike's Sandwiches and an Obama fundraiser.

Oh, and the strange in Oakland has only gotten stranger.
