The state high court's decision gives UC Berkeley the right to proceed with development plans that will replace the storied park with a high-rise student dormitory and supportive housing for low-income and homeless people.
The California Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that UC Berkeley can proceed with its controversial plan to build high-rise student housing on the site of storied People’s Park just south of the college campus.
And even many of the town's progressive leaders — once decidedly anti-development — came to favor housing construction. University officials, meanwhile, never let go of their designs on what was, after all, university-owned land. Every time they tried to develop it, however, they were met with furious resistance. In the 1990s, the university constructed volleyball courts, prompting a machete-wielding activist to break into the campus home of then-Chancellor Chang-Lin Tien.
