Oakland being gentrified to death and still can't prove there is the money here to keep teams. Hold this L :mjcry:
Oakland aint really getting that money tho. it just has rich people who cant afford SF living there instead. SF is really the only city in the bay imo that can make money off gentrification.

Lol @ that. The same tech nerds living in SF live here. They can afford SF, there simply isn't space in SF and Oakland still had more "color". Oakland has better connected public transportation than SF as well...

space aint an issue if you got $, which is basically if you rich enough you can afford whatever you want in SF

but that isnt even the point I was making. its not enough for rich people to live in your city in order for city to get money. most 'rich nerds' who live in oakland go to sf to restaurants, party and events. and land space in general is super expensive, which doesnt have to include residential shyt. business leases feed the city way moreso than the residentials.

They're gonna kill the aura of The Warriors. Oakland supported the teamwhether good or bad.

In the bay it's usually a east vs west type of thing

With the Warriors all factions 49ers Raiders Giants A's come together to support the Warriors

I don't see the fan base changing

Tickets are already fuking expensive


I truly believe the bay could support another NBA team in San Jose or Santa Clara

For decades, the Warriors have refused to acknowledge our city. Years ago, during the previous ownership, I asked why they weren’t the Oakland Warriors. Years ago, after they introduced the retro San Francisco jerseys, I asked why there were no Oakland uniforms. Each time, they gave the same answer: our fans are all over the Bay Area. “We have season ticket holders in Walnut Creek and Concord” … “We have to think about our fans in the South Bay” … “We’ve been Golden State for so long, why change?” … Blah. Blah. Blah.

Translation: Oakland is too violent, too ghetto and too ugly and we don’t want to share in that brand. Even where the stadium is located – deep East Oakland, where the undesired grime and ruggedness is the décor – is deemed unfit for such a glamorous team.

:wow:
