Lon Geddoff has valuable lesson for Alameda

Editor,

Why can't our Council see that every "plan" they come up with for development at the old base is just going to get bogged down in impossible to understand financial problems and pollution and traffic, or scrapped because of some stupid endangered varmints? Plans are just like dreams: useless. I had a dream once to make a lot of money, but you know what? My plan didn't work! I learned an important lesson: We need to stop dreaming and making plans and just let everything be. If Alameda is good enough for me, it must be good enough for anyone else who matters.
