Listen. Pandora is two blocks away, so I can say it: this is a bad move for Uber.

* Oakland isn't cool anymore. We were here before it was cool. And we are barely cool.

* Attrition is terrible. Coworkers either get shot or are poached by Clorox. I heard we lost a Glass developer to the dock worker's union.

* Mass transit at that particular location is astounding: the free green bus, the ferry, BART, an AC transit hub. What I'm saying is that it's too ironic for Uber to be there.

* The best milkshakes are at True Burger, the best banh mi is in Chinatown, and the best parking is at YMCA. Does any of that make sense? No, of course not.

Avoid Oakland at all costs. The real hot spot? Hayward.

Reminds me of my two favorite bumper stickers:

If you love Kauai, send your friends to Maui.

and

Surfing sucks, don't try it!

As someone who lives in Hayward (and owns real estate there) I hope you are right. Do you know of any companies moving to Hayward?
