It does suck, big time. (btw James, don't forget The Crucible in your list) It's a horrible thing, and a lot of work, but Berkeley doesn't deserve to have things like the Shipyard within its borders. I would never wish this on my friends, but it really is an opportunity to leave the idiocy that is Berkeley and relocate to someplace that actually cares. We did it with the Crucible, and we never looked back.

spaz 1,spaz 2, drayage, shipyard. anyone see a pattern?

This bites the big wahooni.

berkeley is becoming non-viable, accrc is looking to move. before we are the last ones left. (and therefore the only target) anyone know of where I can find about 30k sqft?

Berkeley loses, oakland wins.

les young's comment in this blog clearifies exactly what happened and that the owner of the shipyard brought this upon himself.

/if the story is true. some of the supposed violations are quite outrageous and it's amazing and he's lucky he wasn't evicted way earlier. i have no sympathies for this situation if the accusations are true.

Does anyone know to whom citizens of Berkeley should send letters protesting the City's actions against the Shipyard?

Usually in France when this happens, we just call each other, meet in front of the city hall, and burn it down. What time do you guys want to meet?
