Who needs a car when you can walk to so many great places plus freeway access within blocks. All of this plus also close to Zipcar parking, and multiple Ford GoBike stations. Two full scale grocery stores (Whole Foods and Sprouts) plus a variety of neighborhoods (Jack London, Lake Merritt, Piedmont Ave, Temescal, Grand Lake, and Chinatown) are all within 1 mile. Koreana Plaza is a large food market located within four blocks. This location has a Walk Score of 96, which is "walker's paradise - daily errands do not require a car" and a Bike Score of 97, which is "biker's paradise - Flat as a pancake, excellent bike lanes." This is a dynamic and fun neighborhood filled with diverse families, artists, teachers and other folks, and yes, poor people too. This block has friendly neighbors who know and look out for eachother but there are also occasionally unhoused folks who park their RVs/cars just around the corner too. Sometimes the neighbors tolerate them, and sometimes not. Transient folks, by their nature, rarely seem to stay more than a week or so before they are relocated to another temporary home.
