What types of jobs do these people have?
Suit wearing type I imagine?
I can't see anyone rocking coveralls or a hard hat would be making that type of money, unless it's white I guess.


They are upper middle class business people where they come from. Instead of retiring there with the high cost of living they cash out and move down here. It's been going on for over 100 years. My city was founded as a winter colony for snowbirds as we call them.

It's kind of funny how they are having tons of water shortages, yet a large % of houses in Oakland do not have water meters. Kind of blew my mind. Also blew my mind how my aunt sold her place 60k over asking. Never heard of anyone selling above asking price over here.

And as far as the jobs, pay is probably a little higher than average, but still not enough to make up for the cost of living over there in my opinion. I did notice that there were tons if Indians and Chinese over in Oakland, I guess that area has a booming tech and engineering sector.

berkley is flowing over into oakland, wich in a way is a good thing

so its pushing the poor areas back, and some of the previously "bad" areas are getting nicer.


if you like beer and ur in berkley/oakland area check out The Rare Barrel, Trappist, Jupiter, Beer Revolution, and Drake’s Brewing Company

There are definitely some shitholes in bama. Mainly the area between Georgia and Mississippi north of the gulf and south of Tennessee.
