Why settle for perfectly fine when you can have a brand spanking new arena at the pier? The area surrounding the Oracle is a dump.

Well it looks like the announcement is going to be official. This is going to be a HUGE loss in tax revenue for the city of Oakland and county. It's too bad Oakland couldn't get things together and improve the area around Oracle Arena to make it more inviting to investors.

This is clearly a case of Oakland's image and reputation having direct economic consequences for the city. Oakland is simply not a city investors are excited about, and this kind of proves it.

I just love how people form their entire opinion on the "niceness" of Oakland based on a trip to the Coliseum. I would think Oakland sucked too if that was the only part I went to.
