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.... Sullwold highlighted her recent experience at a Restoration Advisory Board meeting where she learned how the Point has the largest collection of Art Deco buildings on the west coast, and suggested that, despite the infrastructure improvements needed, that the buildings were a great opportunity for the City.... Sullwold expressed concerns about the cost of infrastructure, with estimates ranging from $100 to $600 million.

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. Sullwold continued to express financial concerns over the City’s budget and inability to allocate funds for necessary repairs to infrastructure.
