Oaklandishness

I'm taking partial credit for inspiring this.

Visit Oakland’s research has shown that leisure travelers from up north like to roadtrip California, including San Francisco, Napa, and Los Angeles. But, they rarely stay in Oakland.

But as I've told Coop, one reason for the above situation is not only Oakland's reputation, deserved or not, but the very real lack of good quality hotels in that fine city.

My suggestion, if they want to appeal to Portlanders: "Come to Oakland---We have Uber!"
