Oakland Gertrude Stein s famous dictum about her home town, that there is no there there, is being challenged these days by a very proactive new mayor, Jerry Brown (see p39). Oakland s image, notorious for racial unrest and crime in the past, is being cleaned up to present de vinzare a more visitor-friendly face, and there has been an influx of creative types who have moved here to flee the high rents of San Francisco.
