  • Fewer people want to fly into OAK. So, instead of working to fix the city, they decide to change the name. Why not just change the name of the city altogether? Change "Oakland" to "San Francisco East Bay With No Crimes, We Swear."

    Imagine being an international traveler and you end up in Oakland instead of SF.

    We want to highlight Oakland by not associating the city with the name Oakland. šŸ¤”šŸ¤”šŸ¤”
  • What a STUPID idea -- changing Oakland's name into something confusing. How about if Oakland focuses on fixing Oakland?

    ā€œGolden State Warzoneā€ could satisfy all three: Oaklandish desire to disassociate from Otown, SFC&C greed, and the publicā€™s need for truth in labeling.

    I swear since moving to Cali, I havent seen one problem actually being fixed in the past 5 years. Which is why Im leaving.....

    So why don't you call it, oakland bay area international airport? Why put SF? šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø
  • @DonVideoGuy007
    For complete transparency aka "truth in labeling", the name should be updated to:: "San Francisco Bay Gangland International Airport". The statistics of travelers; while staying in any hotel within 10 miles of Oakland International Airport in it's East Oakland location, and then becoming the victim of the rampant crime there in East Oakland, is off the charts.

  • @yeetya3203

    News Flash: The City of Oakland countersues everyone who uses 'oak' because that's part of Oakland's name!
