DESCRIPTION:Save Oakland's Condo-Conversion Protections!\n\nProfiteers Want To Kill 
 Condo Conversion Protections! \n\nWhat::  Planning Commission hears 
 arguments to kill Condo Conversion Protections:  Be There To Say No To The 
 Weakening Of Oakland’s Rent Laws! \n\nWhen: Wednesday, October 18th at 
 6pm  (Near 12th St. Bart Station) \n \nWhere: Oakland City Council 
 Chambers, City Hall, 14th & Broadway\n\nCouncilmember’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!\n\nOakland’s Current Condo Conversion Law Protects 
 Renters!\nOakland’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.\n\nSection 
 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. \n \nThe profiteers want 
 to end the rental unit replacement requirement! \n\nCity 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!  \n\nJoin 
 Us To Speakout At Oakland Planning Commision Meeting! \n \nWhat::  Planning 
 Commission hears arguments to kill Condo Conversion Protections:  Be There 
 To Say No To The Weakening Of Oakland’s Rent Laws! \n\nWhen: Wednesday, 
 October 18th at 6pm  (Near 12th St. Bart Station) \n \nWhere: Oakland City 
 Council Chambers, City Hall, 14th & Broadway\n\n
