    It’s too bad the Indy Bay article about the public housing story is so grossly biased. I’m very curious about what’s going on with that, but it’s clear that they have no interest in trying to give an impartial report.

    Likewise.  What I mostly got out of that story is that The Related Companies are owned by a couple of Billionaires, and that something’s going on involving privatizing Berkeley’s public housing (and did I mention that it involves Billionaires?).  It would be nice to see a story about what’s actually going on and what prompted it.
