"It was shocking to read that a few neighbors are opposed to having a cricket field in the proposed Palm Avenue Community Park in Fremont. The main fear is that flying cricket balls could injure a child or elderly person or damage homes or cars. Do baseballs ever fly out of the field and cause personal injury? Balls flying over to the street or neighborhood will be rare and can easily be prevented in the design and construction of the stadium."
"The New York Times article about Phil Tagami's proposed Oakland coal terminal is very misleading. The article says, a state judge ruled in 2023 that the city had to uphold its deal with Tagami. However, that ruling only provided Tagami with $320,000 in damages. The disappointed coal developers found a judge in Kentucky whose suggestion of hundreds of millions in damages was rejected by Kentucky's district court on November 21."
Some Fremont residents oppose a proposed cricket field at Palm Avenue Community Park due to fears that flying cricket balls could injure people or damage property. Such incidents are compared to rare baseball fly-outs and can be minimized through thoughtful stadium design and construction. Cricket and baseball share medieval bat-and-ball origins, and cricket fields commonly sit within urban residential neighborhoods worldwide, where they are considered safe and enjoyable. In Oakland, a proposed coal terminal faces legal and health concerns. A 2023 state ruling awarded $320,000 in damages while larger claimed damages were rejected by a Kentucky court. Daily mile-long coal trains would spread coal dust, and burning the coal would cause substantial global climate damages using the EPA social cost of carbon. Concerned residents intend to continue opposing the project to protect livability and health.
