The merchant tax base supports the City Council. Rather than taking out the trash, the firms encourage it or at least tolerate it, and the filth spreads. I suggest they move, because the objective is to reduce Berkeley to the economic equivalent of Fallujah.
I'm sorry, some individuals will suffer economically in upscale BERKELEY, but there is a young Marine, or a special forces operative overseas... sitting alone in a dark, cold foxhole, wondering if the next bullet has his name on it....wondering if anyone cares. I CARE, as do the 20 thousand other people who signed the petition.
BOYCOTT BERKELEY
Sorry dude, we’ll never agree. I think it’s going to hurt the little guy who can’t afford to move. He/she probably cringes at the city council’s actions.
The movers and shakers in Berkely will be unaffected by your boycott. Sorry. Can’t support it.
