I was on the BART train crossing over West Oakland. This is an area that is mixed residential and small industry not far from the massive Port of Oakland. They are so very boring and abandoned looking, but at the same time very neglected, high crime infected, and poverty stricken. Huge amounts of money are made through the world's trade flowing through the Port only blocks away, but one would never know this from viewing these streets.
