Howard Terminal Update: Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf Needs Help Keeping The A’s, Should Call Her Friends
As should be clear from these excerpts from Tuesday’s post-Howard Terminal Oakland City Council Meeting on the City’s version of a term sheet, the Mayor of Oakland needs help in keeping the A’s.
She and her staff are making and have made a rash of mistakes in the process, from not immediately contacting Alameda County regarding intent to use tax increment financing after SB 293 Skinner was passed on October 11th, 2019, to not presenting a full tax increment financing revenue time-series calculation, or set of assumptions.
As is clear from my brief presentation of my experience, I can help her – and there’s a good set of people still alive and living in Oakland who would be valuable assets to this project, and know redevelopment. Phil Tagami is one example, and Allan Dones is another, to name a few.
But Libby asks like she’s got this, and gives the same answers she did when Oakland lost the Raiders to Las Vegas: we’re not spending public money to keep them. In this case, we really are spending public money to keep them, regardless of what anyone says – that’s why it’s called tax increment financing.
Stay tuned.

Note from Zennie62Media and OaklandNewsNow.com : this video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a YouTube channel. When the video is “liked” by Zennie62 YouTube, then it is automatically uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Now site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective here, on top of our is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours – is the use of the existing YouTube social graph on any subject in the World. Now, news is reported with a smartphone and also by promoting current content on YouTube: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, or having a camera crew to shoot what is already on YouTube. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
