New Berkeley housing could be located at beloved theater location

[@MilesBellas]

It's an iconic building......

[@raulingaverage]

That needs housing and theater amenities too

[@MilesBellas]

@@raulingaverage There are plenty of other sites.

[@amyskyworks]

Please don’t tear it down

[@immaterialimmaterial5195]

How can you simply destroy this important building for a bland tower block?

I hope they can make a section for men experiencing pregnancy

[@Law19157]

Why can't it be a theater and Housing since the plan for housing is so big? is Multi-use buildings not a thing in Berkeley?

[@marryellenmonahan5585]

Oh hell noooo....😮 So what about historical building??? That's ridiculous.... I'm sure there are a lot of buildings available in San Francisco that are abandoned.Go there.

[@coolsteven2]

It does look very beloved and well maintained. /s

[@jmgunter100]

Keep the facade, build the housing. I'd rather this site be homes for people, not a derelict historical relic for decades to come.

[@Jaycee3]

That lady at the end is correct. Berkeley used to be iconic looking. Soon, it will look like any boring cookie cutter build.

[@raulingaverage]

Did you see the building design? Like what?! lol It meets iconic look

[@laeihbvaljefhbvalejfhbv]

dilapidated and iconic... or cookie cutter and home to more families, which one is worst?!?!?!

[@hppavilionf50]

The building is empty and an eyesore. What a joke.

[@MilesBellas]

Nooooo

Berekly represent progress, and stuck in the past is not progress!

[@almondgarfield]

The theater was not "beloved" enough to stay in business....... If this guy wanted to save the building, he should of bought it. its crazy people think they have the right to someone else's property. These are the same kind of people who shout at you from their porch if you accidently step one foot on their lawn. Cranky crotchety people with nothing better to do. Cities change and grow, there are tons of new successful businesses that are thriving!

THANK YOU . People keep trying to force this “nostalgia” while we in the present are suffering

If you can't support your homeless in your city you should build some affordable housing .

@@marryellenmonahan5585or they can move to get jobs, that’s the problem right😏

[@clarkleakins879]

It is too late for anyone who does not own the land. These representatives you voted for thank you for allowing them to do as they see fit. And they will make every decision based upon the ability to remain in office. How many elected leaders live in the immediate vicinity of any major redevelopment? It is up to the elected leaders to decide what is best for the whole city, despite what the immediate local residents say.

You broken hearted then you go with the building !!!!

People that build communities do not move to crowded ugly places

[@desalegneanteneh9555]

There is so many empty spaces come on now

[@omarinfon]

299 homes? Hell yeah!

[@LoveLee-jz1tj]

bet the building could not be sold for anything else without being torn down due to vermin, leaks and mold.

Tear it down, serves no purpose. Only old boomers care about it, holds no significance to us newer generation.

[@miradecker1493]

I’m currently 20 and I care about the theater. I was born and raised in Berkeley, my dad was born and raised in Berkeley, my grandma was born and raised in Berkeley about the time this theater was opened - we all care about preserving the soul of Berkeley.

It ought to be saved,
