Ugh. This one is a hard one to choose between. In the end, though, given that lawsuits are still in progress, I'm going to have to side against the university for strong-arming while legal actions are still ongoing.
Not even a close call, TTM. People's Park has been people's property since it was taken by the people in 1969. It matters not to me who 'legally' owns it; it's the people's park, but you'd have to have lived in Berkeley to feel that in your gut. :)
Sorry, but I think actual human beings who lack (affordable or at all!) shelter might just trump a park that was popular in the hippy scene.
If there weren't outstanding legal challenges this would be a no-brainer for me. Fuck the hippies. I'd rather see people sleeping on the streets having options that don't include, you know, sleeping on the streets.
With the outstanding legal challenges, though, I tilt against the university.
They're not planning a homeless shelter or any kind of housing for "human beings who lack (affordable or at all!) shelter." They're planning student housing — dormitories.
