@joshuaa1000- you are hilarious! I'm a master's of urban planning student at USC and this video cracked up me and my peers. Keep up the great work! Did you get commissioned by GEICO to do their new ads? When I see them on TV, I think of your video!

@joshuaa1000 love canal is the original NIMBY cause.
Downtown Berkeleys current Zoning allows building up to 9 stories, Check out the Arpegio Building across the street from Berkeley City College. That's Berkeley's 6 story height "limit" w- extra floors for affordable housing, &special cultural use.Yes there is lots of room to grow under Berkeley's existing Zoning. All the plans put forward involve increased density, Measure R is the one without the environmental an affordable housing reqs.

The Sierra Club endorsed measure R.
I'd rather see apartments in Berkeley, built LEED Gold or Platinum, than track homes in Brentwood.
The NIMBY's are trying to keep Berkeley looking the same, and sacrificing the whole bay area at the same time.
No, moped, you have it 100% backwards. NIMBY's are anti-environmental. Period. Look, every year a half million new California babies are born. There are half as many deaths. Do the math, that comes out to more than 100,000 new houses every year. This is the reason we need new houses, shops and jobs. It's not a big-business conspiracy, it is babies growing up and looking for places to live. If you say, not in Berkeley, the jobs will go somewhere else, like Vacaville or Modesto.
