California Supreme Court allows UC Berkeley to build $312m student housing at historic People's Park.
California Supreme Court rules in favor of UC Berkeley to build $312m student housing at historic People's Park, addressing the city's lowest student housing provision. The decision comes after years of protests and legal battles, with a new law invalidating claims by local groups that more students in downtown Berkeley would increase noise pollution. The 3-acre housing complex for 1,100 students will also see 60% of the park redeveloped into open park space.
