CA Supreme Court Greenlights UC Berkeley Housing at People's Park
TL;DR Summary
The California Supreme Court has ruled that UC Berkeley can convert the historic People's Park into student housing, ending a lengthy legal battle. The decision follows a new law that exempts housing projects from noise impact studies under the California Environmental Quality Act. The $312 million project will provide housing for 1,100 students and preserve over 60% of the park as open space. The park, a symbol of counterculture and protest since the 1960s, has been a contentious site for development.
