I hope it is resolved soon. I hate to see a fanbase lose it's team. But they need the situation resolved and quickly.

That hasn't mattered for multiple years, they cycled through 5-6 possible sites in Oakland, including the Coliseum parking lot where they'd already have a ballpark by now.
Instead they chose the most expensive downtown site with environmental cleanup issues and rights fractured among the power company, the railroad, and the port, a long dark gloomy walk from the closest metro station. And the whole "downtown ballpark for office
workers" model is broken in the Bay Area for at least the near future.
