While I agree with the general sentiment, increasing city density takes careful planning. If a neighborhood doesn't invest in the necessary public services such as transportation and education, more density can be a problem. So the entire community who pays for these services should have some say in what happens.
That said, I'm still pro growth as long as we plan accordingly.

- jeffbee 6y agoBerkeley's population has been static for more than 70 years. In the meantime we've built a freeway and a subway with three underground stations. Also the number of _jobs_ in Berkeley has more than doubled. It is high time the city grew its population in order to benefit from these infrastructure investments.
