Oakland Coliseum Will Be Underwater By 2050 According To New Study, So What's Coliseum JPA's Plan? A study released this week in the magazine "Nature" said this, in summary: SLR will pose a substantial socioeconomic challenge in the twenty-first century, primarily affecting human populations, infrastructure and ecosystems along major coastlines. Furthermore, coastal cities often experience sinking land (so-called land subsidence), whose compounding effect contributes to relative SLR, exacerbating coastal hazards and risks. On the coasts of the conterminous USA, climate-induced sea levels are rising faster than the global average3, with an expected increase over the next few decades. The 32 coastal cities evaluated in the study include: Oakland, CA, San Francisco, CA, South San Francisco, CA; 27. Foster City, CA; 28. Santa Cruz, CA; 29. Long Beach, CA; 30. Huntington Beach, CA; 31. Newport Beach, CA; 32. San Diego, CA. In Oakland's case, we have a sea-level rise plan, but it has not been updated. Yet we talk about building ballparks at the Oakland Coliseum. Where is our plan? This blogger gave a presentation to form an EIFD around the Coliseum. No action. taken. It would get us the infrastructure money needed to make effective changes. Otherwise, we could wipe-out East Oakland. What are we going to do?ll

Oakland Mayor's Race: LWV Forum Draws Oakland's Older Folks

Oakland Mayor's Race Forum first take. (Which means, there's going to be more of these posts on last night, because a lot was happening.) This just in: The Oakland Tribune's out of touch with Oakland. A number of attendees of the 450 estimated said they learned of the Oakland League Of Women Voters via "the newspaper." All of the people who made that statement were over 50 years old. Still, the forum, which attracted every candidate except Dr. Terrance Candell, was a success. The auditorium at 300 Lakeside Drive seats 380 people, so if you do the math, it was about 70 over capacity. The crowd was a happy mix of supporters of candidates and long-time observers of the Oakland political scene. The one complaint they had was there wasn't enough time to hear what the candidates were about. That wasn't because there were too many candidates, but due to the format. Either Oakland Tribune Editor Martin Reynolds or the League of Women Voter
