San Francisco's Bid for the America's Cup
Backers of San Francisco's bid to host the America's Cup say the world sailing competition would bring $1.4 billion and nearly 9,000 jobs to the Bay Area. But environmentalists are angered that the city's proposal seeks an exemption from an environmental review. We discuss the America's Cup -- San Francisco's chances of getting it -- and what it would mean for the Bay Area.
Host: Rachel Gordon
Guests:
- Kyri McCllelan, America's Cup project manager at the Office of Economic and Workforce Development
- Michael Endicott, advocate for the Sierra Club of California
- Peter Stoneberg, rear commodore at the St. Francis Yacht Club
- Rob Grant, racing editor for Latitude 38, Northern California's largest sailing magazine
