Obviously people are upset because public space is being taken away for this.

Berkeley is a public school. They’re building government housing. But, it doesn’t matter to the groups who see outrage as a virtue and stall the progress they neverendingly clamor for.

No NIMBYs only care about property values. That’s not what this is.

Surround the park with shipping containers, and done! It is now 100% dystopia appropriate housing!
