The presidential hopeful speaks fondly about her upbringing in Oakland, California , but she actually spent the majority of her youth and early school years in Berkeley, a place with more leftist connotations. During her presidential nomination acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention last week in Chicago , Harris spoke about how her mother rented an apartment in 'the East Bay.
' 'In the bay, you either live in the hills or the flatlands,' she said. 'We lived in the flats, a beautiful working-class neighborhood of firefighters, nurses, and construction workers all who tended their lawns with pride.' Harris, however, did not officially move to the flats of Oakland until she was an adult in her 20s, according to the New York Times .
