We expect the great majority of Berkeley would agree: sprawl is bad - for people and the environment.

We stand for the view: to prevent sprawl, cities like Berkeley need to allow for more homes for more people. https://twitter.com/scott_wiener/status/1292140462522773504

We believe that a fundamental part of progressive politics is that you don’t put your own desires above the greater good.

Housing and climate action is a test: are the people of Berkeley willing to accept change because it’s needed?

We know that many people like the size and look of Berkeley as it is now (or often: how it used to look). But the essence of Berkeley isn’t in the buildings, it’s in the people and the culture. Turning Berkeley into an exclusive community won’t save Berkeley, it will destroy it.

If you’re a Berkeley resident & agree with us on this - if you’re willing to embrace change in order to help the world & keep the best parts of the culture of Berkeley - please join us: https://bnhca.org .
