I sincerely thank you for your Oakland overnight safety tip but I’m a healthy young person and I trust myself to fight off an attack. Chances are I will survive and be just fine. If god says it’s my day, then it’s my day, so I don’t worry about crime. Go about your life and stop being so afraid.

If you want good restaurants in a walkable, safe, close area.. try Alameda. As for Oakland, A's games are safe, Jack London is safe, Lake Meritt is safe. Stay on main roads, use common sense, don't stay out past 11pm. Also consider nearby Emeryville for outdoor mall, restaurants, good safe walking trail along bay.
Oakland also as a must check out jazz club/restaurant called Yoshi's. If you got time, definitely don't be afraid to go check out the town.

Go and do the Billie Bean Moneyball tour at the Oakland Coliseum. Buy a rap CD, an Oaklandish hat, and a churro on the way in from BART. Then take your seat and take in the sights and sounds from an old stadium not worth the dynamite it would take to level it to the ground. See the great new players and be thankful you got to see America's #1 farm team for the Yankees in real life. Go check out the urine troughs in the bathroom and watch your step! When it's over, make sure you exit the game quickly because it will be seagull poop city in a matter of 5 minutes. On the way out grab a shirt from the guy who sold you the hat that says "everything I known about stealing I learned in Oakland." You'll look like a true local at that point.
When you're back at work,, tell other guy all about your day and how with just a few more tax dollars,, they could really clean up that stadium

No one is suggesting that all cities don't have crimes, we're suggesting perhaps looking into acceptable alternatives that have *fewer* crimes.
