The WOSP also details "transit improvements which are to include enhanced AC Transit bus service, a street car service (stoked about this one) and other approaches, with direct links to planned pedestrian-and bicycle networks, the Mandela Parkway/West Grand Avenue employment and business center, the shopping and other existing amenities at the Oakland/Emeryville city limit line, downtown Oakland BART stations, and Jack London Square."

I will definitely be contacting an attorney, for peace of mind if anything. 

Peace out!

Have you explored short-term/medium-term rentals in your area for enhanced cash flow?

@Shannon Peace,I think you are referring to a technique that may bypass automatic reassessment for property taxes when selling the property.  

This causes you to pay compound interest at the expense of your peace of mind.

LOL.. any way  Peace out...

Is this effective in enhancing safety ?   

So thousands if not tens of thousands of people are moving from places like Mountain View & San Jose to more beautiful, peaceful & lower density locations within driving distance like Santa Cruz.

This way you can see how inflated the properties you are looking at buying are, and can give you some peace of mind throughout the buying process.
