Almost like the narratives about Oakland are overblown.

They aren’t

How much time have you spent there?

I'm not saying the city doesn't have a crime problem.

I fly into Oakland a few times a year for work. Every single time I rent a car I am told not to leave valuables in it, and I have been told on multiple occasions to take my luggage in with me and pop the trunk if I stop in the neighboring areas.  Where the INO is closing, they had multiple car break ins a day, when I say multiple I don’t mean two.  Two would be the best day of the year.

If anyone is interested, a reporter named Brodie Brazil is covering this story pretty comprehensively on YouTube. He works for NBC Sports Bat Area. It’s been a pretty interesting saga. The locals here are lukewarm at best on the A’s maybe moving here. I feel like once our Mayor said they should stay in Oakland, that began to really kill Fisher’s leverage. They have nowhere to go until 2028 at the earliest. MLB doesn’t want them moving place to place until then. No one else has a viable stadium. Plus if they leave Oakland, they lose $70M/year in RSN money while they play in minor league ballparks. Fisher doesn’t want to lose that.

I have watched his YouTube videos. He has a lot of interesting takes.
