Los residentes protestan por Tarifas de Impacto de Oakland
Más de 100 residentes de Oakland, trabajadores y líderes religiosos se manifestaron en frente del Ayuntamiento mientras concejales consideraban pasar una cuota de impacto a la vivienda asequible que algunos estiman podría generar millones de dólares locales para los hogares en los que los residentes locales pueden permitirse el lujo de vivir.
En otras ciudades de todo el área de la bahía, la cuota de impacto es generalmente una tarifa única impuesta a los promotores privados que está programada para ayudar a la ciudad a pagar por algunos de los costos de la vivienda asequible.
Sin embargo, según algunos activistas de los derechos de los inquilinos, la actual propuesta cuota de impacto de pasar por el Consejo de la Ciudad de Oakland divide las cuotas de impacto en ocho categorías, que incluyen a la policía, los parques, la infraestructura, sólo una de las cuales es la vivienda.
“No hay manera de que vaya a ser suficiente dinero para viviendas asequibles en Oakland”, dijo James Vann, activista de los derechos de los inquilinos y miembro de la Unión de inquilinos de Oakland. “Va a ser muy diluida bajo la propuesta actual.”
El proceso de cuota de impacto de la ciudad ha estado en marcha desde hace casi dos años.
De acuerdo con un comunicado de prensa de la Organización de Vivienda de East Bay, esto viene “en un momento de rentas exorbitantes y un caliente desarrollo del mercado han dado lugar a una crisis de la vivienda y el rápido desplazamiento de las comunidades de bajos ingresos de color.”
Activistas de Viviendas están exigiendo a la ciudad implementar de inmediato la más alta cuota de impacto posible para compensar el desplazamiento futuro, que sugieren debe ser de $20,000 por cada nueva unidad a precio de mercado.
También exigen que las tarifas de impacto se dirigirán exclusivamente a viviendas asequibles.
Las tarifas de impacto ya han sido implementadas por otras ciudades, como Berkeley y Emeryville, que cobran $28,000 por unidad nueva a precio de mercado, y los fondos generados por la cuota es el único programado para un fondo fiduciario de vivienda asequible.
Pero la alcaldesa Libby Schaaf está en desacuerdo sobre el calendario de aplicación de las tarifas de impacto.
En una entrevista con el San Francisco Business Journal esta semana, la alcaldesa sugirió que la cuota debe ser gradual a lo largo de un período de tiempo a fin de no “matar a los proyectos que ya tienen derecho, pero no han retirado sus permisos de construcción todavía”.
La protesta del jueves se produjo en el mismo día de la reunión final del grupo de interesados de la tarifa de impacto comunitario de la ciudad, y la cuestión está programada para el Comité de Desarrollo Comunitario y Económico del Ayuntamiento el 15 de diciembre.
Según Vann, la ciudad pagó a un consultor un millón de dólares para estudiar la viabilidad económica de las cuotas de impacto, pero que el trabajo ya se ha llevado a cabo en varias ciudades cercanas, como Berkeley, Emeryville y San José.
El estudio en Oakland ha determinado la tarifa máxima que la ciudad puede cobrar a los desarrolladores. Hasta el momento, el estudio no se ha lanzado al público.
“Oakland es un lugar dinámico que puede sostener una gran cantidad de desarrollo”, dijo Karen Smulevitz, una líder con la Alianza de Inversiones Comunitarias de Oakland.
“Es por eso que necesitamos una tarifa de impacto ahora que se dirige a una vivienda asequible, se establece en el nivel más alto posible y se lleva a cabo sin demora”, dijo.
