All airlines started moving their crews away from airport locations during the 80's and 90's because of the crime stats. I opposed it because it exposed us to the dangers of the streets. They reversed themselves 10 years or so ago when several crewmembers went missing from even inside hotel rooms. We have city guides giving us local law enfrcement assessments of layover sites. Now, MIA and FLL, it's on the airport property, room service or in the hotel for food. Parts of South Florida may be a playground during the day, but has become a drug infested danger to visitors after dark.
The title of the thread is wtf is wrong with people?

Oh no...my mom is no dummy. She wouldn't live or visit Miami if it were free.
I'm just updating your facts a little. You're quoting incidents from the 80's/early 90's. Yes, Miami is STILL a *****-pit, but you can come/go from the airport now with little worry. When I fly in to FLL at night, there are more cops than passengers running around. They have their own station there now.
