What did China do with it? Something hideously adverse to our interests, I suppose. I'm sure the Iowa could reach it with her 16 inch guns. Even from Stockton.

Budge is having some fun with you regarding the Presidio of San Francisco. The issue was too hot for local politicians to handle. What the city should have done was buy the surplus property from the feds for $1, then turned around and sold it to private developers. The proceeds would have been sufficient to give every homeless bum a $100,000 trust fund, the interest and dividends from which would have easily funded their alcohol and drug habits. Instead, the California congressional delegation had the property included in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. The Coast Guard Base on the beach is now home to The Gorbachev Foundation. George Lucas wangled some kind of sweetheart deal for a film center. Chrissy Field, once an Army Airfield, has been replaced by a marsh land interpretive center. This is one massive real estate charlie foxtrot.
