Sound Off: How will Warriors move to SF affect the Bay Area?

The recent ground breaking on the Warriors’ new stadium offers the potential of more gentrification in Mission Bay and real estate price increases.

A 2016 study conducted by the Housing Economics Research Team found that stadiums closer to metropolitan centers tend to boost home values more than stadiums in the suburbs.

People with vacation rentals near the stadium could increase rent prices during basketball season or for key games and championships.

Keeping the Golden State Warriors in the Bay Area is essential.

Since they have been winning and their fan base continues to grow every year, it would have been a tragic loss to see them move to another market.
