Future of state housing is at stake in UC ruling, governor says

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 07:18:04 GMT

Gov. Gavin Newsom is asking California’s highest court to resurrect UC Berkeley’s controversial plan to build student housing at People’s Park, a storied green space born in 1960s student activism.The state’s legal challenge claims that if the ruling stands, the case will lay the groundwork for opponents to use the California Environmental Quality Act to block sorely needed housing, exacerbating homelessness and the state’s current shortfall of roughly 3.5 million homes.“It is not difficult to imagine, for example, existing residents citing this case in opposing low- and moderate-income housing, or developments likely to attract young-adult residents or families with children, or designed to support the integration of individuals with disabilities into the community,” Newsom’s filing said.In February, a state appellate court ruled that the University of California failed to study how much noise the proposed $312 million student dorm would make on the 2.8-acre site....

Mining activities are prohibited, and commercial farming and logging require speci...
