TR4A said:I am based in OAK. I have a crashpad in Alameda (a few miles NW of airport).
The hotels are 1-2 miles east of the airport. During the day it is a safe area. At night it could be a little risky. A year or so ago we had a F/O walk to a grocery store down the street and he got mugged not seriously injured. He ended up calling in sick for his trip.
Eight years ago I stayed in the hotels for a few months and I walked to a few places after dark and had no problems. In my eights years in OAK the above incident is the only one I am aware of.
Around my crashpad in Alameda it is very safe area. It does cost more but I do it for quality of life not costs.
Alameda is beautiful!!
