Oaklandside: Eviction protections and housing bond: City Council will vote on proposed ballot measures
The Oakland City Council voted to place both the $850 million infrastructure bond measure and the expansion of the “just cause” eviction policy on the November ballot.
If passed, the bond measure would support affordable housing, city facilities, and street paving, through a property tax rate of $71 per $100,000 in assessed value. The eviction measure was significantly scaled back from the initial proposal, now exempting new housing from the tenant protections for the first 10 years after it’s built.
