Not good for the campus or the city or the state. There are other places where housing could be built.https://twitter.com/abc7newsbayarea/status/992584751411355649 …

It's complicated. The main issue is where does UC already control property. If you stick with that, options are fewer. But UC's land and expansion policies have been... bad for decades now. Along with their academic priorities.

I don’t know what other land parcels they own around campus.... they have the student gardens in North Berkeley but people are freaking out over vegetable gardens too.

Seriously I’d like to bulldoze half of Berkeley to make affordable housing happen

Berkeley is beautiful and pleasant and bulletdozing structures is bad for the environment. We need to find ways to move forward on housing that are more constructive and creative. I believe that's possible. But possibly not if investor profits are an issue.

And I think we need to rethink the whole housing-commute-jobs layout that largely came into place in the 1950s. And maybe we need to address some issues of company scale and ownership. But, you know, I'm willing to change everything.
