That's a big move.
From the article:
"By contrast, San Francisco and Berkeley saw tremendous growth at the upper end of their price ranges, with San Francisco’s priciest zip code topping $3 million and home prices increasing by 133 percent in another high-end neighborhood."
You guys probably already know this stuff but WTF, thats insane. Doesn't seems healthy, how is that sustainable?

Not sure. A Peacock of some type... Im into Mbunas :)
A lot of this is investor + all-cash action. Oakland still has some worthwhile investment properties, and when I looked at the stats earlier this year, it had the lowest DOM in the country due to a lot of cash closings.
I believe the story you'll get from realtors is probably overflow from SF being so expensive (even though that's a non-obvious perpetual truism) and hipster blah-blah, but I'm not buying it. My friends who want to live in Oakland live in Oakland, and my friends who want to live in SF live in SF. If they really want to save money, they'll live somewhere else.

Platinum-shitting gay Chindian alien billionaires, flush with cash from the grotesque profits they have made on Stockton real estate, are seeking safe haven in Oakland.

Why not fly Bank of America over the Ukraine, as many times as it takes?

I'm pretty sure it is as mine looked identical to your picture. Such a good looking fish I named it sushi. But I'm off topic...
