The base, a division of Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach in Southern California, opened in World War II and was the site of tragedy on July 17, 1944. An explosion killed more than 300 men — most of them black sailors who loaded munitions onto ships,..

If the sailors were not black, then it would not be a tragedy?

About 35 miles northeast of San Francisco, the base covers thousands of grassy acres that Concord officials believe is ideal for homes and businesses near an existing commuter rail station. A shortage of new homes in the San Francisco Bay area has contributed to the region's soaring real estate prices in recent years.

Don't worry, some environmental group will find an endangered bed lice in the grass and the land will not be able to be disturbed...

Once it's developed, their ain't no going back. God help us if great war comes in the future. We'll have to locate all the new bases in the middle of nowhere. We may be really screwed.

Of course they want the base closed. You don't want to be occupied by a foreign army.
