Seven long years later, the E12th parcel might finally start moving in the right direction. We need 100% affordable housing to Keep Oaklanders in Oakland. We need to use #publiclandforpublicgood Check out @PeoplesProposal to see what’s possible here.
Thank you to ALL the community members who worked so hard to make sure that public land was not sold off for private profit. YOU did it! You #SavedE12th
🎉 When we fight, we win! 🎉
Kaplan, Thao, Bas, Fife, Gallo voted no. Kalb, Taylor and Reid voted yes. The sixth amendment/extension for the 12th St remainder project DDA extension for Urban Core failed. The deal is now dead, officially
So far, most comment has been split between opposing TOWN for All and the 6th DDA. There were a few calls in support for 12th from the developers and allies, but no community resident has called in to support it or TOWN.
Dunya 'Alwan, D2: community has called for a design that emphasizes affordable housing at 12th St., Urban Core's not offering that. Our project has more units, is more respondent to community needs. Luxury housing displaces folks. No extension #OakMtg
Mari Rose Taruc: public land for public good-- reject that Urban Core extension and give us a fully affordable project to house folks who've been displaced #OakMtg
Sulaiman Hyatt, D2, Housing Rights Cte in SF: vote not on renewing DDE for Urban Core. Bldg luxury housing drives rent up, increases vacancy rates. To union folks: don't build things you can't afford to live in! Black developers can inadverterntly push Black displacement #OakMtg
4. Luxury housing is clearly not the best use of #publicland.
5. Stop making back-door deals with luxury developers.
6. Build 100% deeply affordable housing, The People's Proposal https://t.co/onI5bwswVY
