Will an evaporative cooler work very well in Oakland, California? Is it dry enough out here?

Yes. When you get the easterlies that produce the really hot weather in the area, it is dry enough that an evaporative cooler will work. But I would not use one; they are not enough cheaper than a refrigeration-type cooler to justify putting up with the extra humidity that an evaporative cooler imparts to the air. It does not often get really hot in Oakland, except for a few days in September or October, and a window unit or two will be quite adequate to keep you comfortable.

If, per chance your area experiences pretty solid amounts of humidity, a de-humidifier would help when used along with your AC unit, by allowing you to lower the thermostat some. According to a map I am looking at, the average humidity in Oakland is lowest during Jun - Aug, the hottest part of the year. For best results, a maximum relative humidity at the hottest part of the day of about 70% is best. Unfortunately, average and relative are not the same thing and I don't understand the difference myself. But, in areas where humid days happen from time to time, great relief is often achieved by turning off the water pump (a standard feature of all Breezair coolers) and simply blowing fresh air - moving air always feels cooler than still air. It would seem like it would be ok, gulf states use them some but most of the swamp coolers in use are located throughout the Mid west, and that area is noticeably drier. For a second opinion, have you tried calling some places that sell swamp coolers and asking them this question?

I am not from Oakland but I am assuming it being a coastal city that the humidity will be too high for an evaporator cooler to "cool" adequately. The are best used in dry relatively low humidity climates.

I bought one when I lived in San Carlos and it was too humid to work well. It just made it more humid in the house.

. Good money is to be made by those willing to do the job and keep good times. Time schedules would depend on how long your shift is, and how long it takes to do the job. You can easily have a full day to keep you busy, and time is money. .

i wouldn't live in oakland. anywhere close to bart like concord, berkeley or pleasanton maybe. i don't know about the renting rates there though.
2 :
Rockridge district in Oakland is nice, kind of pricy though. Anywhere in the Oakland Hills is nice too. Also around Piedmont Ave. I would consider Walnut Creek/Concord area. It costs less and there are BART stations near. Maybe check the Orinda area, might be too expensive but its suburbanesqe and close to BART.
3 :
Look in San Leandro. It's pretty reasonable in price and close enough to Oakland.

I have a friend who is out of work and close to being homeless in Oakland. He is a military veteran and has had careers in Law Enforcement and other areas and is looking for a temporary place to stay while he gets on his feet. The men's shelters in the area are booked. What other resources are available in the Oakland/SF area to help someone like this with employment and housing?

yes you can!!!!

Yes, people in the area do it all the time.
3 :
You could, but you will be in some of the WORST traffic in the bay area. The I-80 is jam packed every morning going south and jam packed every afternoon going north. The closer you get to the bay bridge the worse it gets. Depending on your commute time, it can take an hour or more, each way!
4 :
You definitely can, but you'll hate it if you're driving. The traffic back-ups start even before 6 a.m. You can take the ferry though.
5 :
yeah, my uncle lived in Vallejo & worked in Oakland. but now, he's dead. REST IN PEACE.
6 :
Of course. Just have to worry about traffic. Not much options out in that area to get back and forth. 2 freeways to try but they both are a gamble. Unless you work odd hours. But its nice out there and lots of places to shop and eat. Close to the outlet stores and lakes too for camping. Napa is just east of there.
7 :
yes you can
8 :
Yes, take Vellejo transit bus #80 from Vallejo to El Cerrito BART( $4.50) for 30 min ride,the buses go though Car Pool lane, it is not bad. Then BART to Oakland, if you go Civic center or 19th St, the fare is 22 min ride and $2.05

anything is possible
