Hi, My name is Bob. I getting a divorce , married for 34 years. I,m thinking of moving to Oakland

It seems that the Piedmont Avenue area is nice. My Son live in SF and shares a house with five other guys...can't effort to live in SF unless your very wealthy. After the divorce is final but before that I would like to take a few trips to Oakland, never been there. What everyone is saying is that I should rent for year before I buy a condo. I,m looking for a studio condo, it' only will be me and my beautiful pet do name Louie (11 pounds). I am originally from Hoboken, NJ. I would like the AREA to have, stores, shopping centers, restaurants, night life, placers I can take Louie for a walk, but also Quit, Clean, and SAFE. One reason I also would like to move to Oakland...just in case my Son is laid off from his job in SF...he can stay with me in Oakland.
Need you help on this please. Maybe I will find a person that truly loves me, My wife I was with for 34 years didn't love me like a couple should, just stayed for the sake of my children. If you want to send me a person email ...you can. Again, I appreciate your taking the time to read my post and reply back.
