California has a lot of cities. Most all of the complaints about homelessness or crime can be fully avoided by moving 15 minutes away. In fact, most of those big problems are concentrated in two or three major cities.

walnut creek is a suburb about 45 minutes from SF (the closest major population center is Oakland, about 20 minutes. But crime is pretty common in WC.

That really has no bearing on the event.
