@pennsylforniageek It’s also critical to factor in the role of outside/foreign speculation. There are literally more than enough cash buyers in/from #China to buy every available unit in #Oakland . We simply do not have enough land/space to lower market price significantly by increasing #marketrate supply. Also, an influx of high income residents is precisely what drives #displacement in the first place. Oakland needs to protect and support its poor, not build for more wealthy folks.
