I'm not from San Francisco and never been into, but I cant understand how is this something important. Oakland is a bridge away from SF, is there a real change?

I live in the Mission, and I agree with you. Oakland is 30 minutes away from SF. This is like moving to South San Francisco and claiming it makes a makes a substantial difference to your business. You're still in the middle of the bay area.

You'd be amazed at how attached to the city some people are here. Not to say that's a bad thing - but it's definitely obvious.
