The Republican Debate...as told by The Real Housewives of NY

The Republican Debate last night was absolutely the circus we all thought it would be and with all of the shady remarks, questionable dyejobs, and detachment from reality, I can only liken it to watching a whole season of RHONY compressed into a tidy little debate.

#ConnectOAKLAND is a vision to reconnect neighborhoods and connect cities At the heart of vision is the transformation of the I-980 freeway into a multi-modal boulevard that will allow for the reconnection of West Oakland to Downtown, open up new public land for housing, jobs and open space, and will serve as a catalyst for better transportation connections throughout the region. The transformation of I-980 will reintegrate West Oakland and its residents back into the fabric of the City of Oakland and mend an unjust wound that severed - both literally and figuratively – one of Oakland’s most historic neighborhoods from the City as a whole. ConnectOAKLAND’s goals are to gather community input and explore all ideas and concepts that will help bring this idea to a reality.  We strongly believe that this project can be a game-changer for the future of Oakland and the Bay Area.

Glad to see that the #LakeMerritt tower got approved by the #Oakland #CityCouncil last night! The tower has been proposed at 298 units, but is entitled for up to 364 units. The project will generate $650,000 in annual property taxes and $150,000 in annual business taxes. The $8 million fee will fund an affordable housing project of 70 to 80 units at a nearby site, according to the city. The developer has also agreed to pay $700,000 in additional community benefits. #BayArea #Housing #UrbanPlanning #RealEstate #MarketRate Thanks for all your support @babocinco!
