Is it safe to live in downtown Oakland lake Merrit district?

Yes, the Downtown / Lake Merritt district of Oakland is quite safe. Just like every other district in every other city in the world, the Downtown / Lake Merritt district isn't crime free, but the crime isn't out of control like it is in other districts of Oakland. Oakland's actual downtown is on the West side of the lake and has a bunch of fun stuff to do, such as seeing a show at the Paramount and Fox Theaters, visiting China Town, or chillin' at the Ruby Room.
