Mayor Schaaf, Councilmembers, Announce New Ordinance to Increase Housing Affordability

WHO: Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, District 1 Councilmember Dan Kalb, District 4 Councilmember Sheng Thao

WHAT: To address the skyrocketing cost of building housing, and to increase housing options and affordability for all Oaklanders, Mayor Schaaf and City Councilmembers Kalb and Thao are proposing a new ordinance that would make comprehensive amendments to the Oakland Planning Code.

The proposed ordinance would update the City’s zoning regulations to:

Allow residential occupancy of RVs and tiny homes on wheels on private property subject to certain health and safety standards 
Allow mobile homes and manufactured homes in all zoning districts where residential uses are permitted 
Establish density and open space regulations for efficiency dwelling units; and
Establish height regulations for modular construction.

Note from Zennie62Media and OaklandNewsNow.com : this video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a YouTube channel. When the video is “liked” by Zennie62 YouTube, then it is automatically uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Now site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective here, on top of our is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours – is the use of the existing YouTube social graph on any subject in the World. Now, news is reported with a smartphone and also by promoting current content on YouTube: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, or having a camera crew to shoot what is already on YouTube. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
