    I’m kind of confused. Everyone’s always demanding low-cost, high volume housing. Berkeley decided to build such a structure, and now those same people that demanded it are protesting it. Where do they expect such structures to be built, if not on the available land an organization owns?

      They’re planning student dormitories, which “those same people” and actually no people are demanding, except university honchos.

      NIMBY’s are a social cancer.
