For a SanFrancisco writer to call Oakland a little-known Bay Area city is either ultra-snark or a deliberate manure-dump.

I do expect SFO to now rename itself to "San Francisco International, We're not Oakland, we stole your Golden State Warriors, your Raiders moved to a small gambling town, and your Athletics are playing in a minor league park in Sacramento, possibly forever if that small gambling town is not going to gush municipal money to the richest and stingiest owner in baseball"

SFO for short.

That said, countering Oakland's chutzpah in stealing San Francisco's name for its airport with cheap shade seems out of place in the Bay Area.

Except for some cranky tech executives.
