One day they protest the high housing price, the next day they protest building houses

Why don't the protesters each take one of those homeless people home with them? That place was filthy and full of rats. The city had to put the homeless in housing

I wish I had this much time to waste.

Lol so murders, robberies and attacks are cool in the Bay Area but not building housing for Students. Like someone said how about these concerned citizens take one homeless person home with them.

The city promotes and supports people like this, so enjoy dealing with the protesters.

It was a tent city for years. What the hell are they talking about? It’s better to build something there and get rid of druggies

Some of the richest kids (mid-twenties) in the country...

"There are definitely students that are in need of housing, but that's not, to take away, um, like a sacred, but, that isn't, um, but, basically, like..."

New construction is statistically one of the best way to combat rising housing costs and student housing has an extremely high occupancy rate compared to institutional investors who sit on empty investment houses.

Protestors can each donate some money and make a new people’s park nearby.

Funny to watch noodle arm kids struggle trying to move some twigs!! Lol.

Cry babies

Let us not pretend that we didn't know that this day would come, but it serves UC Berkeley right. They should never have led them on all of these years by letting them take up residence and stay there in the first place.

Since these peoples don’t support free speech I support this construction. Crazy thing I was born at Alta Bates hospital I see people coming in destroying and then leaving when convenient.

Nimby!!! Hippies !!!😂🤣💯👀 Love it🤡

People’s park will become housing for people.

That was a funny video. I really enjoy these Cali. vids. It never gets old.

Bunch of weirdos lol 😂 that’s Berkeley for you

Thars been going on for 40 years Who Cares

I would love to see former president Trump in one of those knocking trees down as he smiles and waves to the crowded Berkeley🤣

What's worse? A liberal college teaches liberals so they can vote for liberal agendas!?

Hahaha my family planted the redwoods.... I smell BS....

It reminds me of a time at a yard sale when the seller told me he wanted so much for a particular item because it had "sentimental value". I told him it wasn't sentimental to me.

People's Park has NOT been the same iconic People's Park since about 1998-ish. The People's Park that some of us remember, unlike probably 80% of the "protestors" (too young to remember) has been LONG-GONE for over 20 years now. The People's Park that was part of the civil rights movement, hippie hangout,...peaceful park, etc...has been GONE since the late 90's and has been primarily a spot to score drugs, like crack, at ever since. People's Park is a peaceful hippie park turned "dope spot", back in the 90's. Nothing good has come out of the park since like 1997. Last I saw it, it was a total homeless encampment... that we all know damn well is (was) infested with dangerous ass street drugs, like the ones my good friend overdosed on, and died as a result of, IN THAT PARK.

Long time supporter of people's park. But i saw it coming last year, seeing all the homeless encampments there, sabotaging and putting the park at risk. People's park not homeless encampment! I helped plant an olive tree there in early 90s, played frisbee. People's park activists should keep homeless encampments out for the sake of the park. This is what happens when we don't keep it as a public park. Homeless encampments should b semi self sufficient, organized, clean, limited occupants, spread out in more remote areas. So sad to see trees cut down so quickly.

Fuggin tree huggin hippies

You sleep on the street doesn't mean you own the street, OK? Getting a job is not that hard. Plus go get a shared room if you can't afford the whole apartment.

Let me guess Liberals putting a fit? What’s new….. 🤣🤣

Socialists against communists?

They should build a jail and fill it with this garbage

Their is a thing as too liberal. And boy ol boy. Berkeley and SF are 2 examples

How much will it cost to live in one of them Apartments

"Marxists" Against Free Housing. smh

People's Park sounds like People's Liberation Army.

People will find ANY reason not to work. GET A JOB!

Historic? Hardly. About time that we get those bums off the park.

Omg typical Berkeley 😂 I’m so glad I moved 4 years ago. That park needs so much work I use to live across the street. Literally a place for homeless and potheads to hangout 😂

People have nothing to say but complain all the time

Remember what happened in Kent State Ohio

So, I see nothings changed at Berkeley in 40 yrs lol. Damn tree huggers. Can you imagine crying and freaking out over a parking lot??

If by 'clash' you mean the cops stand around and do nothing...okay. I haven't seen the police actually do their job in years in that city. I stopped going to Berkeley and shopping there quite some time ago.

lmao historic land to low life's? build the houses

Lol the city dnt give a flying fk they will do it if it makes them money it will benifit Berkeley

Berkeley always had a protesting problem back to 1960

Well, Berkeley isn’t known as Bezerkley for nothing. I do have to say it would have been nice if they did like their Stanford rivals and moved the tress instead of cutting them down.

The junkies will just move to some nearby bushes.

1000 CAL students housed vs 45 drugged out homeless! I'm going with the CAL students on this one!

What a irrelevant closing question to ask about the park

This isn’t actually going to help any housing issue if you know how expensing university student housing is and how many ppl can’t afford it. They’re not trying to house more students, they’re trying to boost enrollment. If people can’t stay where they’re going to school because housing is limited, they’ll choose schools with better options. Building this facility isn’t actually doing anything to fix the real problem with student housing; the fact that it’s a scam and it’s ridiculously overpriced. You get a room the size of a closet. The government contracted cafeteria food is deadly, and let’s not forget parking is NOT included. You’re gonna pay a good $300 a semester just to park. They don’t truly care

Well it’s not like they got jobs…

Am I a terrible person for lmao at the screaming while they were pushing down the trees.

"Sacred communal space."

People still wear masks?

Make up your minds

lol, they complain about the NYMBys but they are NYMBys.

Money over everything.

"We need affordable housing!" "Ok, we'll build more housing to combat the housing shortage" "No!" 🙄

Junkies will have to sell and buy elsewhere

Business is booming for schools did you really believe that they care about your education and future along with your freedom? 1000 x’5000 is more money in their pockets society doesn’t know when enough is enough. Only way to beat them is boycotting them, not exactly what anyone will do.

i dont care.

People's "Park" is a dump

Nothing they can do.

when symbolism is deemed to be worth more then human life. what happen to affordable housing or more housing.

Worst than third world living conditions

I think it's lousy to take away this park. That area is crowded as heck, and parks are so necessary for urban areas. People do need parks, green spaces.

student housing will be over priced anyway. UC wants the make more money. if they own it, then they can.

Weak eagle 12

Wait so the idiots are against student housing construction for a park instead?..So Berkeley...🤔

Over crowed schools for over crowed minds that will go no where. Saturated job market. Cement cities No open spaces. 🤺💐

Paying 30 40k a year to get bullshit

Only housing Crisis is these ridiculous high prices of Rent

Yep that sounds like Berkeley. You are not a protester once you clash youre a mob. And this over student housing?

Squeek squeek sqweek

🤣😜😜😜😜 Democrats 🤣😜😜😜

just create the new housing in the Metaverse

Let me guess, really expensive condo-styled rooms for the favored, right?

All of it began the first time some of you who know better and are old enough to know better let young people think that they have the right to choose the laws they would obey as long as they were doing it in the name of social protest.”

That's been my park since 1977

This park it’s not clean anymore as toxic waste junkies homeless drug dealers and who knows what else happened there but it’s been dumped used and abused people don’t go to People’s Park at all not even the student saying that there they are just making this a big deal it’s over lol

Stop electing whoever - lesson learned. Y’all elected tht judge 🤷‍♀️ y’all keep letting these non Bay Area ppl come in! This is what’s going to KEEP happening! I cry at least once a week looking around at the bay and realizing these ppl who are not from here are now the ones with power bc their rich and they are changing the cities to their liking. The bay is only going to get worst unless we elect the right people and show up to commission meetings and stop waiting till it’s too late!

Ha

The peoples park protest of 1969 was legendary, I’m glad these young people are helping keep James rectors (rip) legend alive ❤️

lets make world sinful nature

Hahhahhahahahahah

UC Berkley aka Communist Charm School

People's Park should've been declared an Historical Point of Interest. I kinda doubt homies planting of the trees story but it could've happened. They could've picked another spot, the park was America's Tiananmen Square. This is nothing more than Elitist/Big Brother wiping out our individuality and history of civil rights protests, creating once again division among ourselves instead of them. I'm a Republican because THEY respect the rights of the Individual and not the majority unlike the Dems whose moto is the majority rules and we don't give a damn about you the individual only the rights of the majority and wiping out your sovereignty as an individual person. Berkeley Students stop voting Democrat. I became a Young Republican in 1979 in Berkeley.

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha

Righteous college students…🥱🙄🥱🙄🤐

firehose. classic.
