California Supreme Court Greenlights UC Berkeley Housing at People's Park

The California Supreme Court has ruled in favor of UC Berkeley's plan to build student housing on People’s Park, dismissing a lawsuit from neighborhood groups and activists who argued the project violated environmental regulations and would create excessive noise. The decision, influenced by a new state law AB 1307, allows the university to proceed with constructing 1,100 student beds and 100 supportive beds for formerly homeless residents, addressing a significant housing shortage.
