Since most people are latching onto the throwaway sentence at the end about luxury shuttles, I'm going to thank you for pointing out that distributed growth should be part of the strategy. Downtown Oakland has the transportation infrastructure to handle higher density (in a way that Sausalito, or anywhere in Marin, would take billions in investment to match) and I think Oakland should openly court more taxpayers and taxpaying businesses relocating across the bridge.

The oakland city government is focused on being a police state/surveillance city. They worked closely with the USG against Occupy Wallstreet (where they were actively working with officials on how to handle the leaders of OWS) they have also been very actively building out a surveillance HQ with pretty advanced monitoring. I can only assume that they are also a customer of the Stingray cell tower MIMs.

  "they have also been very actively building out a surveillance HQ with pretty advanced monitoring." The Domain Awareness Center was originally supposed to be city-wide, but has been cut back to focus only on the port. http://oaklandwiki.org/domain_awareness_center http://oaklandwiki.org/domain_awareness_center
