Cops Continually See #DeadPeople In 'People's Park" ...

Another body found
in #Berkeley's "#PeoplesPark", this Tuesday a man in 30's died where tents remain in wet winter weather despite #UniversityofCalifornia's long stated but stalled desire to #redevelop site for much needed #Housing .

Rabid opposition from fans of the longtime #homeless camp and #PublicDrugUse mecca stopped #construction crews on the edu's economically invaluable eyesore campus lot numerous times over past decades.

Over 50 yrs ago a man was killed by local police who fired upon #demonstrators, and many #protests and court challenges since have kept the #StateOwned school chomping at the bit to take back the squatted site as the #SFBayArea's 24 hour #FentanylFestival rages on.
