    This legislation is not specific enough to protect the interests of the Oakland community:
    - HOW MUCH on-site affordable housing is required
    - WHAT and HOW MUCH Other Benefits are required?

    SInce the sale is conditioned on these items:
    - When must these items be delivered?
    - What if they are not delivered by the developer (ie the property is sold before meeting these items)?
    - Is the city then obligated to buy back the property at the original sales price and return the funds?

    - SInce this sale is conditional, and the conditions have not been met, I don't believe this sale revenue can be recognized under US GAAP, and cannot be included in budgeted revenue
