		<description><![CDATA[CORRECTED, at bottom. Though support for Occupy Oakland is clearly plunging quickly, I&#8217;m amazed there is any organized support left for the encampment following the utterly predictable events of Occupy’s big protest last Wednesday. The next day the City Council heard public testimony and a staff report about the illegal encampment that has forced them [...]]]></description>

At North Oakland&#8217;s Peralta Elementary School (460 63rd St, entrance is on Alcatraz Ave) from 10a to noon, city planners will present their work and [...]]]></description>

Recently, Inclusionary Zoning representatives told the Zoning Update Committee that they “demand” their pet policy as part of citywide zoning updates. This has led businesses to fear [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few days ago I received an alarming email from Friends of BRT: Transportation and land use are intimately linked. The combination of better public transportation and transit-oriented development is the Bay Area’s best hope for reducing the pollution, congestion, and related problems associated with the region’s over-dependence on the private automobile. Yet, instead of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A bond is an opportunity to leverage the wealth of the entire city in a way that is fair, progressive, and allows everyone to participate.

		<description><![CDATA[Most politicians give at least lip service to affordable housing. With housing prices throughout the region skyrocketing, and new construction far below the level needed to accommodate a growing population, Bay Area leaders often make proposals to encourage housing affordability. But the most popular of those policies, so-called Inclusionary Zoning, dominates the debate to the [...]]]></description>
