Police in Berkeley cleared out People's Park early Wednesday morning, in a long dispute over the historic grounds.
Officers set up barricades, while heavy-duty machinery and construction vehicles came into excavate the area. Cars in the area were moved to a different parking lot with gift card reimbursements of $100.
The project calls for below-market housing for some 1,100 students on less than half of the 2.8-acre site. But Cal spokesman Dan Mogulof told KTVU that the university is not callous to the plight of the homeless: In fact, UC Berkeley has spent close to $8 million on helping the unhoused, including offering them transitional housing and a new daytime drop-in center.
