An Alameda County Superior Court judge ruled last Friday that the University of California could begin in its long-planned project to build student housing. Protesters and police clash over Berkeley People's Park Cal spokesman Dan Mogulof told KTVU that the university is not callous to the plight of the homeless: In fact, UC Berkeley has spent close to $8 million on helping the unhoused, including offering them transitional housing and a new daytime drop-in center.
People's Park is listed on the national register of historic places and was an epicenter for protests against the Vietnam War, and for civil rights in the late 1960s. There were petitions by a handful of groups to stop the project, including the Historic District Advocacy Group.
