Description
As lawmakers scramble to reverse a court-ordered enrollment freeze at UC Berkeley despite heavy demand, the debate is igniting the housing wars. The school and its neighbors are sparring over who is responsible for a central problem: just 22% of the school's students are housed by the university. In Berkeley, the failure to build housing goes back decades, but the politics have changed, with YIMBYs instead of NIMBYs ascendant. Chronicle reporters Sarah Ravani and J.K. Dineen join host Demian Bulwa to discuss the latest in the closely-watched battle.
