You lift off over Hayward and the city unfurls beneath you: the checkerboard of streets gives way to the bright sweep of the Bay, bridges reach like steel arms, and Alcatraz sits like an island that remembers. The helicopter climbs, and the water dares you to look down as tide lines and ferry wakes carve patterns across the surface.
