Born / raised in Antioch.
The only reasons to go to Oakland are Raiders games and the Hornet is there.
Otherwise, avoid at all costs. It's not worth your life.

Uhh the USS Hornet is actually in Alameda! At the poor rundown remnants of the once great NAS Alameda!! Same place where Mythbusters filmed a lot of their stuff at! Same place I grew up as a kid!
Was born and raised most of my life on that island! And it up to this day, most certainly is not Oakland!!
As for the dude running for office? Never gonna get elected to anything in that area like that. But he is telling it like it is!! Honesty in politics? Not gonna happen specially in Cali, and especially especially in Oaktown!
ETA: I was there the day good Ol' Clinton flew in to NAS Alameda, drove in to Oaktown to let everyone know the base was closing! Damn nice of the guy! It's the only time I ever complained about the noise of an airplane! He had a C-5 flying his limo team, and it literally sat with its engines running waiting to GTFO!
