alameda point revitalization initiative
rebuttal to arguments in favor of Measure B
Promises and pretty pictures will not develop Alameda Point.

SunCal has more than 27 bankruptcies throughout the Southwest, plus
numerous projects that remain undeveloped. Oakland residents sued
because Oak Knoll became a public safety hazard. We cannot let this
happen to Alameda.

Measure B was written by SunCal and benefits the developer. Once
passed, it's LAW!

Measure B creates traffic from a potential 11,000 new residents without
sufficient funding for managing traffic.

This is NOT our last chance to redevelop Alameda Point.

Defeat Measure B and our community will move forward to develop
Alameda Point in a manner that includes funded infrastructure, sports
facilities, open space, schools, libraries and a full range of housing
opportunities for every segment of our community. We can do this
without giving millions of public dollars in a deal which only benefits
the developer, not our community.

Ignore the false promises of SunCal:

  • There's no guarantee that any additional agreements will be
    legally enforceable, or protect our city should this Initiative pass.

  • This is a one-sided Initiative that gives the developer 100% control
    of the project development with NO requirement to fulfill their
    financial commitments.

  • The Initiative doesn't guarantee funding for or construction of a
    single public school at Alameda Point.

  • Developer's shortfall of nearly $500 million in funding for public
    benefits will result in a failure to deliver promised benefits.


Don't let this slick million-dollar campaign buy your vote.
Please join with theAlameda community and us by voting NO on
Measure B.
