Opinion: Breaking the impasse on People’s Park
We suggest UC Berkeley commence construction of the student and supportive housing planned for the park on an alternate site as soon as possible.
Opinion: We urge state leaders to protect solar
What the CPUC is considering is the wrong direction and could set back local and state clean energy efforts.
Opinion: It’s time to pass Berkeley’s Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act
TOPA would provide tenants an opportunity to remain in their homes, build generational wealth, and keep Berkeley diverse and vibrant.
Op-ed Guidelines
Berkeleyside welcomes submissions of opinion pieces, which we publish at our discretion. They must be fact-based, with links and citations to substantiate arguments. We generally do not publish items that have appeared elsewhere and ask for two weeks’ exclusivity. If you do not hear back, assume we have decided to pass.
Topics should be Berkeley-related, local authors are preferred and anonymity is not allowed. We recommend 500-600 words and at least 72 hours’ notice. Please send Word or Google docs, not PDFs. Send your name, phone number and a one-line bio with all relevant disclosures to opinion@berkeleyside.org.
