A family from Florida is sending a stark warning to travelers coming to crime-ridden Oakland, California, where their car was broken into as they dropped their teen off at college.

I checked on Google Maps and it says the address is

401 15th Street, Oakland, CA 94612 that’s located at the intersection of 15th Street and Franklin Street.

Hmmm.
Apparently, nothing about the Nation’s #4 crime-ridden cesspool is available in FL news outlets...

I’m also a native Californian and never heard of this school. But it does exist and it’s not some correspondence online school. In fact.....it looks quite reputable.

I had the same experience.

I noticed this on their website:

"University housing is conveniently located in a safe neighborhood of the city of Alameda."

Very sensible, or at least it used to be sensible when I lived in Alameda a long time ago. Parking in Oakland was dangerous even back then.

Driving an SUV loaded with crap in Oakland. Guy should have his head examined, not the criminal, who’s only doing his job.
