Save the Vulcan! 200 working-class Oakland artists are crowfunding to save their homes and fight the-rent-is-too-damned-high

Ultimately, when I say “The Vulcan” it means the physical building. Since the laws apply to buildings, when I say “The Vulcan was given an exemption” it still actually means the building, because if it’s sold to another developer, the exemption stays with the building. Since a new developer may well decide to level the place and build condos, “Save The Vulcan” still makes sense (in my mind at least), but I can see how it could be confusing. Again, I didn’t want to get too far into the weeds in the original post, happy to go weed whacking in comments though!
