More ugly housing with a mere three so called affordable units. When “affordable” is not really affordable, one hesitates to know the cost of the unaffordable units. Please reconsider this unfortunate project. Oakland does not need more unsightly lool alike inverted cartons blighting neighborhoods.
Please don’t obstruct this project. We are in a housing crisis because for the last 50 years in the bay area, good meaning people like yourself have fought against new housing. We are now at a crisis point. I get it Nancy, these buildings might seem ugly to you, but are they any uglier than 23 more people kicked out of their homes? this is 23 new housing units, that’s 23 groups of people who won’t need to outbid people for their existing homes. Unfortunately the only reliable and proven way out of a housing crisis is to increase the housing supply, through projects like this.
How do I get on the waiting list??
