The battle over People’s Park is over. Berkeley hasn’t yet kept its promise

The long-running dispute over People’s Park in Berkeley has finally reached a conclusion, but the city still hasn't fulfilled its commitment to those displaced. Despite a nearly complete $312 million dormitory for students behind shipping containers, the new building promised to house the formerly homeless community remains unbuilt. This situation highlights the ongoing struggle between urban development and the needs of marginalized populations, raising questions about Berkeley’s commitment to social equity and the future of the park.
