A's fans can point to 20 years of futile negotiations as a prime contributor to this development. It's been like watching an electric train under the Christmas tree: 'round and 'round it goes, but ultimately goes nowhere. Somewhere, somehow, someone overlooked the obvious - a professional sports team adds value to its city through revenue generation, commercial development, infrastructure and, in the Howard Terminal scheme, housing. Apparently, that isn't worth the investment for some of the parties involved.

Cause they got burned the last time they "invested" to help sports teams out...still footing the bill for that crap... They were happy to help raise funding for off site improvements and give some tax incentives but they weren't willing to take on debt for a billionaire's pet project. I would rather the city take on debt for schools and roads than a sports stadium. Also, the housing was to help the sport team make money on the deal...you think another developer won't want to to a no stadium just more housing and commercial space deal on Howard Terminal site, similar to what Signature Development did down the street...it will take time but the units will get built and this time the City won't have to foot any money for the off-site improvements since they don't need to make a stadium build breakeven for a billionaire
