Its so liberal they'd never consider electing a conservative. Berkeley's a one-party town.

We need close, affordable, livable housing; we need our rights as tenants to be protected; we need cafes that are open past 11 p.m. to ensure foot traffic, nightlife and safer streets; we need reliable public transit.
