But yeah I think in practice the bigger question is whether Berkeley will streamline the process for replacing single-family houses with apartment buildings. AFAICT that is technically permitted but the approval process rejects the vast majority of applications.
- jedberg 6y agoRight, but you wouldn't build apartments in most of the pink area anyway, because it's all up in the hills. The part of the city that anyone would want to build multi-family on is, for the most part, already zoned for it.
