oakland

...Is it as dangerous as I've heard? How's the spange? How're the laws regarding homelessness? If Oakland is not a great idea, are there any better places in NorCal you'd reccomend, and why?

Looking at going back to the Bay Area for a couple days later this year, everyone I know there has moved on and I'll have my camper (converted 4x4, so not as subtle as a van) with me. I usually try and avoid bigger cities by San Francisco is, among other things, a bit of a nostalgia trip for...

Hello stp ::cat:: Stumbled upon this community while reading up on trainhopping, something I’ve been wanting to try for a while now. I was homeless for about 4 years and now that I’m living in an apartment in Eureka again, I’m getting that stuck, anxious feeling once more. I’m depressed...

I'm in San Francisco right now, and I want to check out Oakland; the anarcho-squatter-punk stuff really entices me, and San Francisco is boring the absolute fuck out of me. But I'm afraid to go there because of all the shit I've heard. So...where should I avoid? Bear in mind that I'm not very...

i just moved out of the bay because my rent was over $1000 a month (considered a steal there by most conventional standards there). but screw that. I want to live there (my bandmate is there as well as all of my artist contacts and friends) and I can't afford/don't want to live there...

Hey folks, I'm gonna be hitting Oakland in a week or so and I'm planning on riding to slab city from there. Just wondering if any of y'all bike nurds, are just sitting around with nothing to do and would like to ride with. Open invite to all. I travel alone all the time, so having a...

Hey everyone i'm Scott from California. I'm originally from the central valley and from 2011- 2015 i've been working a lot of dead end warehouse jobs and really just got tired of a repeatative paycheck to paycheck lifestyle where I always felt trapped and anchored in, it was depressing and it...

So I just posted on here recently looking for an active squat in oakland to stay at but if I can't find one to stay at I might be down to check out some abandoned buildings and stay in one for up to a week. Would anyone be down to join me? Yall?

I'm moving up to the bay area next week with very limited places to sleep does anyone recommend parks, squats, or hostels to stay in while in the bay? Also i was wondering whats the safest parks to sleep at is Buena Vista safer than Golden Gate Park to sleep at in a sleeping bag with pack?

Wasn't too sure on the best forum to post this in

In wake of the Ghostship Fire of Oakland, CA the community is faced with the hardship issues of what befalls most transpeople when they die - dead naming, and the biological family's denial of their trans identity. The Gayskull Armory of Minneapolis, MN sends love to the queer members of the...

Having worked construction around a lot of SF neighborhoods, I did learn of one possibly abandoned home and I want to see what's up with it so bad. Anyone with a little know-how want to join? Pretty please I dislike that city, but a fancy home is a fancy home and maybe its just where one of us...
