ROFL Berkeley goes to war on tree-huggers.

[brawndolicious]

In Berkeley there's this one park where these tree-huggers live in the trees (if you live in the area you'll know it but I forgot the name) and whenever some people drive by (such as me) they cuss them out so I guess that's why the city decided to kick them out.  The way they live in the trees is that they take turns going in rotation to get food and to empty their shit bucket which is attached to a rope to each tree.  The city cut the line to the shit bucket so they have to shit down the tree and they're building a wall to starve them out.

I might actually go to the park now.

holy shit that's awesome.  how long have they been doing this?

[brawndolicious]

I remember driving by last year and seeing them.

I'm not even sure why the fuck they do it though.  Would the city cut down park trees?

[Smooth Groove]

Is it People's Park?  I saw a bunch of naked people singing and dancing over there once.

That shit don't fly down here boy. Hippies be gone.

[Stocky]

God damn hippies

I think it's that one.

I always wanted to live in a tree, but not because I'm a hippy, just because a tree house > a ground house.

I'm telling you, the Ewoks knew what was up.

berkeley rocks.  i want to live there one day --- best record shops and bookstores in the bay area.

I'd actually suggest living in albany rather than berkeley.  nicer city but it's 1 square mile and right next to berkeley so you wouldn't have any problem getting anywhere.  my friend actually has his house in albany and his backyard in berkeley.

[hyp]

is there a bart station in albany?  i'm seriously considering moving to the east bay within the next 2-3 years.

no, but there's ones right on the edge of albany and berkeley.  you might have to take a short bus ride too.

You've go to be kidding.  It's one of the worst smelling cities in the US and there's a scary amount of sexual assaults and robberies for a University campus. 

[brawndolicious]

where the fuck were you that it smelled?  I mean granted there's a huge amount of weed-smokers but they don't do it out on the streets, maybe in their cars but not anywhere else public.

I've never seen illegal activity but berkeley is kind of ghetto and in front of the lawrence hall of science they have a rape button you can press since it's on the top of a hill and pretty remote and takes 5 minutes by car to get up there.

however if you like berkeley, there won't be any major problem.
