Oakland residents will get to vote on greater eviction protections, term limits for City Council members and a likely fairer election process following action by the City Council.
The council on Monday placed those proposals on the ballot for voters to consider in November as well as an $850 million infrastructure bond.
“This is a call to action,” Bas, the council president said. “I think this is the beginning of an effort,” she said. During the public comment period, property owners were largely against the proposal, arguing that the protections would limit new construction. But tenants and their advocates argued in favor of the proposal, saying that housing is a human right.New construction, including accessory dwelling units, would be exempt from just cause protections for 10 years if voters approve the measure.
