Why is storage in demand on the island?
Alameda is an island city: everything comes and goes through the Webster and Posey Tubes, the Park Street Bridge, or the ferry - which makes convenient, on-island storage genuinely scarce. Alameda Point, the former Naval Air Station on the west end, is one of the few places on the island with room for large vehicle storage, and the surrounding Oakland Estuary marinas keep demand for boat and trailer parking high. Apartment living across the West End and near the ferry terminals means smaller households often need a drive-up unit for what the closet can't hold. Two ferry landings serve the west end - the Main Street terminal and the Seaplane Lagoon terminal at Alameda Point - so commuters can fold a storage stop into the trip, and the Point's wide former-runway blocks are what make room for a 220-space vehicle lot at all.
