Back in 2022 we endorsed Measure M, the city vacancy tax, specifically because of the “pernicious” way that Prop 13 allows landlords to hold on to vacant properties. We’re glad to see it having an impact!
BerkeleysideA family that owns four vacant Berkeley apartment buildings is facing a $168,000 bill from the city's new vacancy tax.
Reminder! We are hosting a meeting TODAY AT 5 PM with the City planners leading the commercial district upzoning. Here’s the Zoom link: us06web.zoom.us/j/8749574950...

Really good to see CM O’Keefe working this. We endorsed her opponent primarily on street policy but liked what O’Keefe said on housing. And here she’s walking the walk.
Jordan GrimesCM O'Keefe says she's not here for the vibes; she's here because she loves this city, and she wants it to grow, and welcome new people in. She's supporting the ordinance tonight.
A number of speakers have quoted a median home price of $1.7m. But that’s the median for all home types - the median for single family homes was $1.8m in May…
Jordan GrimesDirector Klein notes that the average price of a single-family home in Berkeley is $1.7M, and that multi-unit housing built through the Middle Housing program will be more affordable than what exists currently, even if it isn't *deeply* affordable.
Alfred seems to be live posting tonight’s meeting on middle housing!
Alfred TwuMiddle Housing rezoning goes to #Berkeley city council vote tonight. Big question is how many homes per lot. Will it be a handful of large 2,000 sq ft+ houses, or will a larger number of smaller starter homes or flats also be allowed. For best results we want flexibility for either. 1/ #berkmtg
