I was very disappointed to hear the done-dealness of the A’s to Fremont plan this morning. While I agree that economically, Oakland is probably in pretty much the same place without the A’s, it’s hard to let go of my childhood memories. Also there’s the part about greedy owners blah blah blah. This just didn’t need to happen and it didn’t need to happen now.

I’m not going to call this short-sighted or stupid, but let’s just remark that calling them the “Fremont A’s” would be quite the mistake, and if you look at the map, I have no idea how anyone’s getting from BART to the new stadium in an efficient, timely, non-hair-ripping-out fashion.
