Peggy is a kind lady and prefer to offer helps. Although there are some rules about living here, I think they're great and could make everyone convenient and happy. Quite and beautiful to live here. Easy to go to San Francisco by both BART and transit bus, and I personally recommend the bus which only take you less than five minutes to walk to the bus stop and about 20minutes to San Francisco, and meanwhile you can enjoy the beautiful lake views and the bay veiws. And don't miss out the grand market on Saturday. It was great. Last but not least, for girl who travel alone in Oakland, don't hang out alone after 7 o'clock, especially around the 12th Oakland Center. Anyway it's a nice city.
