Two comprehensive articles that set out to dissect and clarify the arguments for and against two key measures on the Nov. 6 Berkeley ballot drew high numbers of readers this week: on Monday we addressed the question, Would Measure T enhance or ruin west Berkeley?, and on Wednesday we asked whether Measure S would help of hurt the homeless.

Away from politics and government, readers expressed concern for a deer that had been shot with a bow and arrow, and was spotted by north Berkeley resident Young-Eun Choi on Wednesday. One reader commented, “Makes me both sad and mad that someone would do this.”
