    This is one of the few circumstances where city has major leverage to demand affordable units from new development and it is being wasted with the current proposal. Given the excellent location and views at this site, the project would have no problem "cross-subsidizing" affordable units. Do not let this opportunity go by using outdated defensive thinking about what Oakland can expect. Please reconsider and take advantage of this unique opportunity.
