Alameda Point

Alameda Point was, until 1997, the Alameda Naval Air Base, a base that dated back to WWII. But with the end of the Cold War, the airbase eventual fell victim to budget cuts. Since then the SF Bay and the City of Alameda have been trying to clean up the site and to redevelop it, somewhat like the plans to redevelop the Hunter’s Point ship yard.

There has been little progress, however, as local opposition and problems cleaning up the area have presented obstacles to bringing private developers. Deals seem to come up and then fall apart before they manage to get green-lighted.
For now the area will have to be content to remain a shooting location for TV series which Alameda Point has been multiple times in the last few years, the location being ideal for setting off explosions without the risk of endangering the public.
