Answer 1

Who is sending you there? Are they crazy!?

Do NOT go after dark. Under any circumstances.

Dress VERY modestly and DO NOT talk to the local scum, even if you are a boy. I would not even make eye contact with anyone.

Take a cab if you can, this way you won't have to walk to much, there isn't much parking.

I had better not read about you in the paper!

Answer 2

Like any big city, Oakland has areas that should be avoided...especially after the sun goes down. You failed to say where on 4th you'd be. But if you are downtown, that is fairly safe. But the further you get away from the Civic Center and hotel area, the more dangerous the city streets become.

I would recommend you find a buddy to drop you off where you are going...or walk with you. And do your errand/chore during the daylight hours when the streets are filled with people. When it gets dark in Oakland, the streets tend to empty out in a hurry.
