55 years old. He was barely born during the hey dey of the People’s Park. Just a little kid. Maybe he was born during a sit in in the 60s, or one of their nude demonstrations and he’s just reviving some of that old nostalgia.

Does anyone one here remember how People’s Park started? The University bought a couple of blocks of land and removed the existing old houses with the intent to build dormitories for the expanding student population and parking lots. Casting about for something to oppose the Board of Regents and Gov. Reagan, the hippies decided to camp out on the University owned land to prevent any construction. Later they planted gardens there.

What has People’s Park cost the taxpayers of California? The illegal occupation of state owned land?
