Isn’t Berkeley really ‘North Oakland’?
I remember driving in Oakland then just happened onto to a Berkeley sign..
No fan of San Fran but San fran side vs Oakland/Berkeley side no contest..
As they say in Berkeley, "BELIEFS???"
Towns run into each other around there. Population growth.
Years ago when I passed through Berserkely the homeless were openly using the sidewalks for toilets.
Except for the weather it felt like being back in NY City when Dinkens was mayor.
I used to go ice skating at the Berkeley ice rink, before they built one in Vacaville. I thought that even many of the people on the ice were weird too.
“And what more could you ask of a great city?”
Maybe to let it kill you—spiritually, physcically and existeniially. All of you. How can anyone considerr human congestion, abberation and folly to be the foundation of a life to be well-lived. The isolation of a Montana rancher, Utah Mormon, West Texas cowboy or Arizona trucker seems more profound and open to the possibility of enlightenment to me.
The only Bay Area (left coast) city I’d want to see is Livermore. That is because I was born in the city when my dad worked at Livermore Lawrence Labs.
Got that right. I have been to the Bowl. What you have to do is meet the jerks face to face. ie: If they get in your face you feed it right back. They act crazy but they aren't as crazy as they act and are basically cowards. If you make them realize what ever they think will happen will not be the way it will play out as in they will get hurt. It doesn't happen often but has worked ok for me. I make them aware I am capable and willing to deal as in if they don't STFU we will have a serious problem.
Yes... their were Canadians playing hockey... :-)
“I mind insanity quite a bit”
Same here.
For some unknown reason I’m a nut magnet.
People I’ve never seen in my life will walk up to me and start telling me their life story and it’s always weird crap nothing normal.
“Why I think Berkeley is the best place to live in the Bay Area”
Guess: It has the highest crime rate so rents are affordable?
Hmmmm ..??
I’ve always wondered why “diversity” is in the same sentence with “neighborhoods”.
True diversity is an integrated neighborhood; not neighborhoods of like-groups of people.
This is just typical of liberals. Diversity means whatever they say it means. In other words, if liberals say that segregating people into neighborhoods is diversity - then it’s just accepted as such. When is this country finally going to figure out that we’re being lied to over and over and over again ..?? As usual, the liberals continue to speak out of both sides of their mouth.
The campus is beautiful.
Berkeley is every libs dream come true....unfortunately it is closer to a third world dump than anything else
Grateful Dead owed a lot to Elvis. Did you ever see Jerry’s pelvic action?
agreed! This article is the pure creation of the reaction know as incredulous maximus.
my league (the old PHA) occasionally had games scheduled at the Oakland rink back when in the early 90s. late night games followed by beer in the parking lot. other than a few panhandlers, no one gave cause for concern.
This is what I've heard about Berkeley.
The college is still spewing crazy sh*t.
