    Please adopt this resolution. Oakland is in a housing crisis. We need affordable housing in Oakland ASAP! Waitlists for subsidized housing are years long and homelessness is growing. Most folks cannot afford market rate housing and there are entire families renting out rooms or sleeping in their cars as a result. I hope this council will prioritize affordable housing today and in the future.

    Please adopt this resolution. It is of utmost importance that we prevent a repeat of what happened in the 2008 financial crash and legislation of this nature would go a long way toward that goal.
