Protest Over People's Park Housing Plan Blocks Sather Gate on UC Berkeley Campus

BERKELEY — A protest over the controversial plan to build UC student housing in Berkeley’s People’s Park has blocked Sather Gate on campus, according to UC Berkeley police.

The police department Twitter account posted about the protest at around 1:30 p.m. and advised taking “alternate routes through campus” to avoid the area. A protest on Upper Sproul Plaza is completely blocking Sather Gate. For your safety, please avoid the area and find alternate routes through campus.

.... good story for kpix5 reporters to do an on the ground, field interview of those currently camping at People's Park... why are they there? why are they not wanting to use city services offered?

How is this plan controversial? Literally 99% of Berkeleyans want housing built on that land and only some 0.1% of the population want to continue the current mess there. Granted, those 0.1% are very loud, but they're still a very tiny minority of the city population.

Peoples park is a crackhead shit hole and the people protesting don’t live anywhere near there

No shortage of hyperbolic leftists in Berkeley

Break out the fire hoses
