I was in the Air Force and seen several bases in my time and Alameda Point has to be one of the dullest of all of them (although nice views). They all look like 1950-1960 buildings with no piazzas or style. They were build for a certain function and a lot of them are not all that functional as civilian buildings. I would like to keep the flight control tower though and make it my house with the top being my bedroom....but I know that won't ever happen. With little or no use of some of these buildings they are probably full of toxic mold...you can smell it in the Officer's club....millions of $ to clean up in a lot of the buildings. If they have moss growing on the outside there is probably something else growing on the inside. You can rebuild the big whites probably for less than to rehabilitate them as they keep letting them deteriorate. The government is also letting the Coast Guard hosing deteriorate...I guess all the money is going to the war in Iraq. It is to bad because when I was in the Military, Military housing was immaculate. To be honest I don’t hardly find one historical structure at the point which is partially worth keeping.
