Yes, Maniac, a move to Alameda would be educational, but there are many drawbacks from living in Stockholm. First of all, the women are not too bad looking, but they are outright ugly compared to Swedish women. Of course, nothing compares to Stockholm women. So, bring a sack to put over the east bay woman's head during sex.
The other guy was right, you need a firearm for sure. Don't tell anyone about your handgun, however, because the whole bay area is ripe with Gore supporters and they don't like guns. You will be ostrasized for having a firearm. But, when a huge porch monkey tries to take your wallet, you will be glad you have your trusty Glock. If he gets your wallet, and even if he injures you in the process....you will be told that it isn't his fault since he is a product of his environment. If you can find a local ashram, you may be able to take your case directly to Jerry Brown. He will be in there chanting his mantra.
You might try going into the city and getting a woman over there. It is easier since most of the males in the city are outright rump-rangers. Just be careful what bar you go into, because they will try to bugle you. A Glock could be handy in that situation as well since some of those pickle smokers can bench press 400 lbs.
As far as living arragnements, I recommend finding a bull dyke Oakland police officer and rent a small room or a couch from her. She and her femme may even let you watch once in a while....which will be very entertaining...sort of like watching two rhinos go at it. Afterwards you can all take Bart to the Stick and watch a game.
