Profiteers Want To Kill Condo Conversion Protections!
What:: Planning Commission hears arguments to kill Condo Conversion Protections: Be There To Say No To The Weakening Of Oakland’s Rent Laws!
When: Wednesday, October 18th at 6pm (Near 12th St. Bart Station)
Where: Oakland City Council Chambers, City Hall, 14th & Broadway
Councilmember’s De la Fuente, Brooks and Chang want to kill the requirement that each conversion from a rental unit to a condominium, must be replaced. The three (scrooges) want to have as many as 1500 units converted a year, creating thousands of homeless families!
Oakland’s Current Condo Conversion Law Protects Renters!
Oakland’s present day condo-conversion ordinance known as Section 16.36.070 of the Subdivision Regulations has been in place for over 20 years, went into effect in 1981, and was amended in 1982 and 1984. It offers a modicum of stability to Oakland’s communities.
Section 16.36.070 requires that any conversion of four or more units throughout the City, or any number of units within the conversion impact area, must be alleviated by the development of new rental units to replace the ones being converted to condominiums. The ordinance states; The subdivider must demonstrate that one rental unit has been added to the city's housing supply for every unit converted to a condominium.
The profiteers want to end the rental unit replacement requirement!
City officials in the pocket of the profiteers are claiming that they are actually promoting condo-conversions as a form of home ownership for Oaklanders. Meanwhile, critics of the proposed measure charge that the average Oakland household income in the flatlands is only around $29,000 to $33,000 per year and that most renters could not possibly afford to buy a $300,000 condo even if they wanted to! This has nothing to do with helping out the renters!
