MetArtScroll The word “golf” is never anywhere in the article linked. I cannot understand why the first measure to limit wasting water in a water-deficient area is NOT limiting the watering of golf courses.The word “golf” is never anywhere in the article linked.

Comment on UC Berkeley must withhold thousands of acceptance letters after state Supreme Court ruling in ~news
MetArtScroll IMNSHO, the entire San Francisco Bay Area is undercrowded (maybe except the CBDs of San Francisco and San Jose[Santa Clara county, California, United States]). As for a “satellite campus,” this...overcrowding
IMNSHO, the entire San Francisco Bay Area is undercrowded (maybe except the CBDs of San Francisco and San Jose[Santa Clara county, California, United States]).
As for a “satellite campus,” this would not be a bad idea to build it near another BART station on the Orange BART line, yet I am absolutely sure that NIMBY assholes would not allow that.

MetArtScroll Sometimes it helps to look one step deeper. As already said, the reason why there is no student housing is the local NIMBY assholes. Yes, assholes in Tildes sense—those who make others...Sometimes it helps to look one step deeper.

san francisco bay area as a whole will be better off if UC-Berkeley has more students.
California will be better off if UC-Berkeley has more students.
The United States will be better off if UC-Berkeley has more students.
The world will be better off if UC-Berkeley has more students.
Only a bunch of NIMBY assholes will seemingly not be better off if UC-Berkeley has more students (are they sure?).
As for parking, I have to note that the main UC-Berkeley campus sits on a BART station.

Comment on How do you fix housing? in ~talk
MetArtScroll (edited )Link ParentWhile this is definitely great (not just good, but great) that they change single-family zoning to ADU or outright duplexes, there are still problems like height restrictions, parking minima,...First is happening, albeit slowly - in California, for instance, many cities are slowly but really moving away from single family zoning (Sacramento, Berkeley, etc.), plus the ADU legislation that passed.
While this is definitely great (not just good, but great) that they change single-family zoning to ADU or outright duplexes, there are still problems like height restrictions, parking minima, setbacks, CEQA, etc.

Comment on Revenge of the apes: Monkeys in Maharashtra's Beed District on a murderous rampage after dogs kill one of their infants in ~news
MetArtScroll …the whole thing started when some dogs killed a baby monkey. After this, the monkeys started killing pups in the area by throwing them off from the top of a tree or a building.
Monkeys have killed almost all the pups in the village and now, villagers say that there are hardly any pups left in their village. But monkeys have not stopped. Troops have started targeting small kids. School-going kids are being attacked by the monkeys and this has created panic among the villagers.

Not every one of them, and not everywhere. Many golf courses solely serve the local golfers. And another reply definitely confirms this.
