OAKLAND INFORMATION |
 |
Oakland, founded in 1852, is a
major American city in the Bay Area's East Bay) of San Francisco Bay
in Northern California. Oakland is home of the Port of Oakland, one
of three major shipping ports on the American West coast. Economic
recovery, along with Oakland's wealthier hillside neighborhoods,
attempts to reduce crime, high rents and home prices in nearby San
Francisco, and a substantial offering of shopping districts and
restaurants representing cuisines both homegrown and worldwide have
led to an increase of population and of real-estate prices in the
past decade. In the past few years, new bars and nightclubs have
opened in Downtown Oakland, some in the various downtown
neighborhoods.
