Try living here in Southwest Berkeley, Lola. Residents have been petitioning the City Council for some relief for years, but the CC has more time for making pronouncements about national issues than taking care of city issues. Berkeley has a crumbling infrastructure, slippery slope crime,truancy, a drug war on its south border, and a growing grunginess. But as long as the folks in North Berkeley and the hills are happy~*..~*lalalalalalalala~*..~*no one need ever know how undemocratically the city really runs. And no local papers cover that story. We need a serious exposé.

Don't mean to be too nitpicky, but I looked up 1600 Russell St, Berkeley in Google Maps and it seems like the map you posted is 10 blocks east of where it happened.
