100%!!! tell them only if the developer gets to chose the workWhy don’t these developers get smart and set up shell companies to do the artwork?
For the same reason you don’t hang art in a home that’s just been built. The new occupants will.

That may been somewhat simplistic, since some developers will likely manage the property.
At some point they may put up art. If they don’t wind up being the managers of the property, why should they put something up.
This make work for those the local libs want to keep on the reservation.
I'd like to see developers hire their young children to make art on the walls.
I went and found the legislation. In the city ordinance we have:
"Public art advisory committee" means a professionally qualified citizen committee recommended by the Oakland arts commission and approved by City Council to oversee quality control of the public art program, its projects, and to recommend to the Cultural Arts Division (CAD) the sites, scope of project, artworks and artists for the public art projects funded through the Public Art Project Account.Only artists "approved" by the politically-connected committee will count. This is pure and simple cronyism.
