This really makes me feel like the whole Raiders mess is missing a real opertunity to turn that area into a great mixed use housing/retail/entertainment area.

This really makes me feel like the whole Raiders mess is missing a real opertunity to turn that area into a great mixed use housing/retail/entertainment area. I mean it's got 3 lines running through it, it's near Alameda's lovely shopping, it's near the freeway, it's quick to both Oakland and SF downtown. LOTS of housing and options there - even IF there is a new stadium in that area...
