So, the city that hates the Navy now wants favors from the Navy. How special is that? Maybe the Navy should suggest Hunter's Point as the new home for USS Iowa.

The city will not assume responsibility for the site cleanup. Once they get it, they'll sue the Feds or petition the state for the $$.

Why do I get a mental image of the Village People when I read that headline? :)

Take my advice SF, it's not worth it!
Tell the 49er's they are a private business, and private businesses don't get facilities built with public funds.
Take a stand.
Let the b*stards move if they think that's what they have to do.
Then you can develop your appreciation of college, or high school ball. You have great programs out there.

The Navy has agreed to consider the proposal, but only if they can first use San Francisco's Castro district for a 3 day Live Fire exercise.

And I bet the SF Mayor doesn't see the hypocrisy in all of this.

Mayor Gavin Newsom's office is pushing the Navy to transfer ownership of Hunters Point Shipyard in San Francisco...I guess that his rehab is not going well. I wonder if Coulter added this 'faggot' to the list of people she can't talk about.

They can move to Texas with Coamerica Bank.

Well, maybe as a 'closer'. I mean, that's just 1 shell, and we want our guys to have plenty of practice first. Sure, a lot of the Castro denizens may escape the shelling, but it is just an 'exercise'.

Okay, lemme get this straight. Close a naval facility so it can be converted into a professional sports arena.
Doesn't sound too bright.
Is this Rome? Cast off our military capabilities so the serfs can indulge in some bread and circuses distractions.
Yeah, that's the ticket.

Hunter's Point is all wrong for a stadium - nowhere near a freeway and with street approaches through the worst neighborhood in town. Unless the city is prepared to build a stadium futher north in Mission Bay (fat chance), the 49ers should loftily ignore this nonsense and press on to Santa Clara.
