The way those shipping containers have blocked off the sidewalks all around there sure looks like an ADA violation. #DisabilityLaw #PeoplesPark #UniversityOfCalifornia #Berkeley

UC Berkeley makes dead-of-night push to wall off storied People’s Park
The university launched the extraordinary operation — designed to double-stack metal cargo containers around the entire perimeter of the park — just after midnight.
On their arrival, police surrounded the park.
Inside, they were met by several dozen protesters, chanting, “Long live People’s Park” along with shouts of “Fight back!”
Some held out for hours in a makeshift treehouse and on the roof of a single-story building in the park.
By starting the exercise under the cover of darkness and during students’ winter break, university leaders hoped to minimize a conflict with activists adamant the park should remain open space, a living tribute to free speech and student activism.
The university planned to install the cargo containers over several days, banking on the massive metal structures to provide a more formidable barrier than the fences that protesters have easily breached in the past.

#PeoplesPark site owned by #UCBerkeley attracts dozens of amped up #activists and potentially hundreds of law enforcement officers with a 24 hr #CalDining catering contingent capable of feeding over 1000 meals a day to support securing site listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
#UniversityOfCalifornia claims new #housing plans for bldgs to shelter 1200 preserves open space, and honors park's 55 yr legacy is also desperately needed, at a blighted location where crime has escalated around a filthy & oft dangerous tent encampment.
#Protesters refuse to join #GovernorNewsom and city leaders in support of #construction on symbolic site of #resistancia that has been held in limbo while awaiting a #California #SupremeCourt case that has not as yet even heard any #OralArguments.
#BerkeleyU sent out an announcement this morning telling #CampusCommunity members to avoid the "affected area" for at least next 6 days while the stacking of #ShippingContainers around perimeter of long contested vacant lot begins
The situation is bound to escalate into chaotic confrontations, vexing violence and perpetual public disturbances, as it always has over previous decades, in which blood has been shed, and life was once taken by #police buckshot fired at furious citizenry.

The end of the 2023 CA legislative session is producing new pro-housing laws that close loopholes often used to block or delay projects. Dan Walters of CalMatters shows some local examples.

The #city as #sensory #playground. Inside the #PeoplesPark looking out at #GrandParade. A pleasing sense of #enveloping green, abundant tree #canopy, and #enclosure (what is a park without enclosure?)
Beyond the railings is bustling #GrandParade and the meetings of the ways, creating an #enveloped sense of #security and temporary #seclusion before returning to the busy-ness of the city.
