Perfect example of where they should be focusing their blood, sweat and tears.

I have yet to know of a more self defeating group than the Oakland Heritage Alliance.

Their self-appointed spokesperson Naomi Schiff is incredibly arrogant and resorts to childish antics in public hearings(like hissing) when things dont go her way.

Watch this video of the vision of Oak to 9th. It's beautiful!

Oak to 9th | Video (http://www.oakto9th.com/video/ - broken link)

It looks like a mini San Diego along Oakland's waterfront. Imagine it at night.

Funding is not the issue. From what hat did you pull out that hogwash from? LOL

The problem is a MISGUIDED local preservation group trying to stand in the way of progress.
