Oak Park
Oak Park is the neighborhood Sacramento argues about. Historically Black, long disinvested, and now stitched with cafes, breweries, and the Broadway corridor's slow creep south, it carries the cleanest version of the city's gentrification debate. Dates here lean curious and a little political: a Broadway stroll, Old Soul coffee, Yellowbill or Federalist by night, with the understanding that the person across the table probably has opinions about who the neighborhood is for. Rents are still under midtown, barely. Bring questions, not a script, and skip the part where you call it up-and-coming out loud.
