There are definitely sketchier parts of the Bay Area. The TL for example. That said, those numbers for a 1 block park aren’t exactly fantastic.
But safety aside, my main point is that locals don’t universally want to keep the park as is. Far from it. A lot of locals believe the park has changed significantly since the 70’s, and not for the better. Many have been pushing hard to redesign that space for like 30 years.
I would argue that only thing more Berkeley than people’s park is the push to completely redevelop people’s park. Every couple years there is another big push to redevelop, and then counterwave of protests to halt redevelopment. There are two sides that are both quite loud and passionate.
I love that line, and it feels exactly right. That's my Berkeley.
My mind was made up on People's Park thirty years ago, when I lived there. Beautiful place. :)
