*CE* one of the best places for young people

A national nonprofit that advocates for children and young people has named Alameda as one of the best places in the country for young people to live.

It marks the second time that the city has been selected as one of America's Promise Alliance's "100 Best Communities for Young People."
The selection, which was announced Wednesday, is based on local programs and initiatives that aim to reduce high school dropout rates and offer help for students and young people.
"As one of the co-chairs of the Youth Collaborative, I am extremely proud that we have once again been named one of the nation's '100 Best Communities for Young People' by America's Promise Alliance" Mayor Marie Gilmore said in a statement. "This award recognizes the hard work of many community members who have dedicated their time to making a difference in the lives of our young people."

Seriously? Alameda has been selected as one of the best place in the country for young people to live? It’s funny how Oakland is rated top 6^th dangerous city in united state, top 2^nd in California. Alameda is just right next to Oakland. This doesn’t make sense at all. I mean I have nothing against alameda, it is a really alright place, but it’s funny how alameda can be selected as the top 100 for young people when Oakland the top 6 “dangerous” city is right next to it.
