Yes. There is a lack of demand and oversupply of high-end rentals in the Bay Area. The housing affordabilty crisis cannot be solved by simply building more of what people already can’t afford.

Again, these will be developer owned apartments not “homes” one can purchase in the traditional sense. Most rents will be at or near the top market price, therefore this project will do almost nothing to solve the affordability crisis in CA. Expect plenty of vacancies (see downtown Oakland, etc.)

Also, by this logic there should never be a second Brexit referendum, gay marriage ought to still be illegal in California, Newsom’s redistricting referendum should never have happened, etc.

If you didn’t have the first dumbass vote, you wouldn’t need the second one. Also begs the question should major infrastructure and planning decisions ever be put to voters, ostensibly you have planning departments for this very reason.

There is a new formulation of the shingles vaccine that’s been out for a few years now, with fewer side effects. Not sure why that is not more widely known.

“Oh no, they showed us only the most representative bits from the archive!” sounds suspiciously like a brand new standard in 2025 and TBH I’ve never heard of “critics” applying this standard to condemn anyone else other than the BBC in this specific instance, and then only a year after the fact.

I’ve never watched archival footage of, say, the Nuremburg rallies and wondered “where are the missing 50 minutes of the speech that demonstrate Hitler wasn’t such a bad guy?”

I strongly disagree there was any error at all. This was historical footage not reporting of a current news cycle. The entirely appropriate edit gives an accurate & fair summation of Trump’s overall messaging on the day.

His many anti-Palestine tweets post Oct 7 were OTT, unnecessary, and frankly racist.

“Let’s all agree the edit . . . was unprofessional and indefensible.” I don’t agree, this was historical footage edited to accurately reflect the overall tone of Trump’s speech on the day. Would not expect handwringing over clips of Hitler at Nuremberg and if it’s been edited to make him look worse.

BBC was working in the US 24 hours ago - now gone. BBC seems to be in the process of cutting itself off from the rest of the world. I don’t get it.

Hate to say it but most of Ridley Scott’s 2000’s output has not been very good, either.

I would happily see CA tax dollars redirected to UC to fill the funding void left by the Feds pulling research grants. Surely money from the State would come with fewer strings attached anyway. How about a temporary tax on my vehicle to fund green energy research at UC while Trump is President?

Also, since when does a semi-retired professor pose a potential threat to the safety of the student body? Or is it rather the case that the “Berkeley 160” are simply a random sampling of individuals who disagree with Trump and American foreign policy. Specifically one policy, in particular?
