DESCRIPTION:This Tuesday May 5 the Oakland City Council decides whether or not to sell 
 off the East 12th parcel to private developers. Join us for a rally at City 
 Hall to demand that public land be used for public good, not for private 
 profit!\n\nBackground\nIn the midst of a housing affordability crisis in 
 Oakland, the City is proposing to sell publicly owned land to private 
 developers UDR and Urban Core 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 E12th and 1st Ave street, 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\nMay 5th come rally for 
 development without displacement in Oakland now! Stay for the City Council 
 meeting to speak out against gentrification in Oakland and for affordable 
 housing!\n\nThese local organizations, representing the people Oakland
