I had thought about staying in Oakland instead of San Francisco to save a bit of money. Then I did the math and found out that paying an extra $10 a day on BART trains and spending an extra half hour each way commuting wasn’t worth the savings.
It has half the population of San Francisco and mainly serves as a large port for Northern California. The Oakland Tribune Tower with a clock on it is a local landmark along Broadway. It also has its fair share of triangular buildings with its grid split on two angles along Broadway.
There are a good couple of museums but the only one that interested me was the USS Hornet aircraft carrier. San Francisco is way more interesting and I’m even thinking about visiting state capitol Sacramento next time, but I won’t be coming back to Oakland.
