Jeeze, what took them so long. There’s absolutely nothing positive about Oakland. Democrat rule has utterly destroyed the place.

“There’s absolutely nothing positive about Oakland.”

Oakland has really nice weather, actually. And there are some good restaurants... and some surprisingly beautiful homes up in the hills. So “nothing positive” is too strong. But, like San Francisco, four or five decades of hard left politics have taken a toll.

I grew up as an Oakland A’s fan, and I particularly loved the Billy Martin era, so it’ll be sad to see them move to Vegas. With that said, the “Howard Terminal waterfront ballpark” that the teams has been pushing for years was an asinine boondoggle. The Coliseum site has freeway, parking and BART. Howard terminal has none of those three, and was a disastrous idea. Better to let the team go to Vegas than to bankrupt the city on a costly, inaccessible, half-baked copycat of the Giant’s park across the bay.

Yes.

Las Vegas is not the greatest place either.

Actually there's nothing negative about Oakland except the Democrat mis-rule. With proper government, the East Bay could be amazing.
