I bet you a dollar Travis is going to magically find its way to the next BRAC list.

imho it was a mistake for the federal government to let go of the old presidio in SF. That base had actually been a fort since 1776 when the spanish created it to keep the russians from coming south.

The history there runs far deeper than the pentagon.

further the military presidio was a part of SF’s American identity.

The presidio anchored SF. SF’s moorings were already loose. When the presidio was vacated by the army—the SF US anchor was cut and the city drifted away.

The presidio should be bought back by the feds.

I’m guessing somebody has the “in” on what might happen with SFO in the future. Anybody here remember the old Denver airport -— and then the new behemoth they built some distance away from the city? I’d say “informed speculation.”
