“The city will take on more than twice as much debt as was promised to voters”
“All my pals in Santa Clara California are thrilled about this.”
Your pals are all liberals I assume?
“All my pals in Santa Clara California are thrilled about this.”
All your pals are thrilled that their local government is using tax payer dollars to build a billion dollar structure for a private company?
Why are all your pals Socialist?
They won't be if they have to commute there. It will create monster traffic jams right in the heart of Silicon Valley.
Much better and what I was really hoping for was a new stadium across McCovey Cove from The SF Giant's AT&T Park, the Tiffany Diamond of Baseball Parks. That is such a perfect and beautiful location, right next to the bay with killer views of the water and the Bay Bridge. It's in China Basin, the warmest, sunniest spot in San Francisco and the ingress and egress is superb with multiple forms of transportation that stops right there.
I just moved from L.A. and I will say the ONE thing L.A. has consistently done right is insist that if the NFL puts a team there that not only will the taxpayers not pay a dime but the NFL (and sponsors) will pay the taxpayers.
We (now they) survived quite well for lo these many years (15+?). Those warm weather cities that pay through the nose for an NFL team are welcome to them (cold weather cities have an excuse).
FYI, it is true what you hear: when you move to Dallas they staple a “Cowboys #1!” foam finger to your forehead and make you take a loyalty oath... ;)
Once again the taxpayer takes the shaft. All for the purpose of bread and circuses.
Why, yes, actually I do believe in the Tooth Fairy. Why do you ask?
Saint Claire 49ers?
Speaks well of San Francisco which wouldn’t build them a stadium with private shopping centers and condos.
The A’s have been looking to move down that way too.

“traffic will be a nightmare””
The games are on Sunday and it is 10 days a year.
Fans start streaming in 3-4 hours before kick off.
It is right off 101, near 237 and 85 and 280
Traffic nightmare? NOT!
it would have been nice to be next to ATT Park, but SF did not even get close to getting it done
plus the weather is better
As a conservative and a Taxpayer, I do not like this at all, but the duly elected city government voted and approved it. So, if you don’t like it, work within the law to vote them out, or file a lawsuit, or move, or whatever you would like to legally do within the confines of the Constitution (Fed and State) and the city charter of Santa Clara.
