Ray,
Alameda is calling you, with open arms. Have you guys ever considered coming to The Island? Even though it is a long and arduous journey from the curvy enclaves of San Francisco, you will probably find it more affordable than said Sinewy Street. Or, perish the thought, check out some of the surrounding areas in Oaktown? Even when lockouts cause the garbage to pile up in the heat of the summer, the stench only adds to the atmosphere. And the aroma only helps to cover up the fact that the murder rate is down, and potentially undervalued property values will rise in the future. I'm sure that a crack house in the 'hood would be quite affordable, and think how grateful the neighborhood will be when you fix it up. Also, a few formerly rough areas are now up and coming, especially the Fruitvale district, which is right across the bridge from Alameda.

Speaking of Alameda, have you tried the club sandwich at Jim's Coffee Shop? It's magically delicious! Maybe one of the best eateries on The Island, or in the Bay Area. Jim's is down the street from Forbidden Island, on Lincoln Ave at Park St. Yet another great thing in Alameda that you may have overlooked in your hasty quest to look for greener pastures, or club sandwiches.

Besides, where else but in Alameda can you get a cocktail from arguably the best new Tiki Bar on this planet, mixed up by your favorite bartender, brought to you by your favorite waitress and Tiki Bocce Tournament Hostess, and served to you in your favorite Surf Green Fugu Mug? A mug which arguably belongs to me. But I'll be nice and share.
