The following two questions concerned Alameda Point: the first asked if an effort should be made to preserve all 86 historic buildings at the Point, and what strategies could be used.

This was not a question that provoked much dissent: all the candidates support preserving the historic buildings via adaptive reuse and rent credits for tenants in exchange for building improvements. Valbuena Dumuk compared Alameda Point to Mare Island, where he worked as a child, and described the emotional resonance the historical buildings there have for him.

Next the candidates were tasked with the problem of vacant, deteriorating buildings being vandalized, and what should be done to prevent further damage to the structures.

All six again agreed the solution was getting tenants for the buildings.... Valbuena Dumuk offered that more staffing for the AFD and APD would do the trick. He offered the unique suggestion that it would be cheap to place motion-activated wireless cameras at trouble spots to catch vandals in the act.
