Cities smelling of urine are fact. Difference is I’ve lived there long enough to remember when it was not as bad as it is now.

Fair enough. Just don’t get all the hate as an overnight. It’s not our best but certainly not our worst.

I don’t dislike the overnight. The Oakland short is in a way more dangerous location than the long. Always amazed when I would hear of FAs walking around the OAK short at night. I like the long because it’s easy access to the City

Same here. That’s all I was trying to convey.

I’ve never felt unsafe in OAK. I’ve actually never felt unsafe on any of our layovers and I always walk around the areas where we stay.
Is there crime in America? Yes. Are there problems with homelessness? Yes. Could state, local and federal government agencies as well as the private sector in the Bay Area that has so much wealth do a better job of solving issues? Yes. But do those issues prevent me from enjoying our amazing American cities? No.
Take some basic precautions by not carrying a lot of cash or wearing your Rolex while out walking and explore our great layover cities.

couldn't *possibly* have anything to do with the fact the local DA has publicly stated no thefts of less than $1000 will be prosecuted, could it?!?

It’s California so they might require you to wear a mask while you sleep in your room.

if you decide to walk outside and get in trouble, forget police assistance. Have the number for “Citezens De-escalations Services” handy instead.

This entire thread seems pointless. All crew should be exercising caution on every overnight. Whether it be LGA, OAK, ORD, LAS, BNA, or hell even DEN...
