Once this pandemic surge is over, all those ships will go back to LA/Long Beach where they want to go in the first place. How many stack trains of maritime containers ran out of Oakland before the pandemic? BNSF three, or four a week and UP once daily, or thereabouts. Most traffic at the Port of Oakland goes out by truck. The area of the stadium and it surroundings will benefit far more from baseball and attendant crowds than from more Chinese-built container cranes. Oakland is close to becoming unvisitable in many area - does anyone here go to Jack London Square anymore? The Raiders and Warriors have fled and if Oakland loses the A's you can kiss the whole town goodbye.
