DESCRIPTION:On March 18th, come to the Oakland City Council Planning Commission hearing 
 to speak out against gentrification in Oakland and for affordable housing! 
 Save the E. 12th St. parcel for the people! \n\nBackground: In the midst of 
 a housing affordability crisis in Oakland, the City is proposing to sell 
 publicly owned land to create a 24 story, 300 unit luxury high-rise 
 apartment tower right by Lake Merritt, where the median rent will be 3k per 
 month. The development will have no affordable units and no real community 
 benefits. The property is on E 12th St. and 1st Ave, right by the new 
 pedestrian bridge at the end of Lake Merritt.\n\nLong-time residents are 
 being pushed out of Oakland every day because of skyrocketing housing 
 costs. The city’s number one priority right now should be figuring out 
 how to make it possible for working families to stay in Oakland - not 
 developing luxury high rises for the rich that are just going to raise 
 rents and exacerbate displacement.\n\n
