  • The vibrant college community of Berkeley is as rich as ever with food, music and cafe culture - and rest assured that the crusty hippie spirit is also alive and well.

    Lol. I lived in Berkeley for 22 years, and this is not a picture of my Berkeley. Why didn't they show the beautiful gardens, that are all over Berkeley? Why didn't they show Ashkenaz? The Berkeley Botanical Garden? The Berkeley Marina? And the winding staircase paths all over the Berkeley hills? Show the community gardens too.

    This is more of North Berkeley experience where rich hippies, grad students, and professors pretentiously show off. Not really the Telegraph/student side of Berkeley.

We are a much larger and more complicated place than either side wants to acknowledge. Your two sides of Berkeley insist on exiting separately and pretending like the other side does not exist.

      Are We Now post pandemic and what effect did that have on Berkeley? Do the homeless shacks and shacktown still exist? Isn't this video completely out of date? The Great depression started in 1929 and less than a hundred years later it is repeating so on the streets of Berkeley for some but not all, not the privilege Berkeley citizens that pay high rents. Too many Berkeley residents feel discarded like old newspaper on a rainy day. Did Joan Baez fail?

    I live in Berkeley. The free speech movement was born in Berkeley and seems to have died in Berkeley. It’s my experience that people here have totally lost the plot and will “cancel” you if you question the narrative of the mainstream media, particularly during this time of Covid. People are super fearful here and while there used to be more punk anarchists, (and anarchy leans to the furthest right on the political spectrum), Berkeley really is the communist capital of the US, and the liberals lean to the farthest left: socialist/Marxist/communist/fascist. I have come to hate this place. Reading the “next door” app makes me loathe my neighbors. This place is a shithole. There is a lot of money here yet the city is so corruptly mismanaged. The homeless problem is out of control, and Berkeley is so obnoxiously PC that we have to call them “houseless” rather than homeless. I could go on but I need to keep my bp down. 😆

Can blacks afford property in Berkeley and can they afford to rent there without government grants and student loans? Should People's Park be renamed Needle Park?

    Hmm. This isn't the Berkeley I know. These pieces usually present any biased slant they choose. Downtown Berkeley is a skank-hole overrun with homeless. (Back in 2014 as well). Overall, the town is neither cultural, trendy nor sophisticated. Yes, there are some cool spots to visit but, you have to run the gauntlet of street people to get there.
