"Another Old Rundown Neighborhood"
Southwest of the junction between the Grover-Shafter and the MacArthur Freeways, Hoover is yet another poor neighborhood in West Oakland—an area that is uniformly made up of poor neighborhoods despite attempts to help improve the area. As with other neighborhoods in West Oakland, Hoover also has a series of rundown old homes. The vast majority of the homes here were built before 1950.
Put simply, it is too dangerous and rundown to move here.
