		<description>Don&#039;t tempt them, they might fence off the median in front of Cheeseboard.  That would be consistent with the mentality.</description>

		<description>BINGO.  

Nobody was complaining, all I saw were a lot of happy faced (myself included as I stood around eating my slice with my drink on the counter.)  Now I do same, but try to perch it on the trash can. 

What exactly did the city accomplish?  They hurt this business, and that&#039;s the extent of it.  

Totally retarded.

		<description>The counters and seating were ordered removed .. not in response to any complains, just because they didn&#039;t jump through the right hoops.  

How has the city served the community here?

		<description>Charles, you&#039;re saying that Berkeley is not dense enough.  My experience is that I can walk/bike nearly anywhere in town (except the hills) with relative ease.  I&#039;m trying to understand how dense you think Berkeley needs to be.

I don&#039;t really understand what European misconceptions about the Bay Area have to do with it.  Is there some stigma associated with having some yards and trees rather than row houses?  Don&#039;t people choose to live in Berkeley precisely because it is not Daly City?</description>

		<description>Ha! Nah, I&#039;ll stay incognito until the AUP comes through -- which according to the letter I got from the Planning Department Friday will be 3-4 months from the date of the completed application (which is the quick turn-around time, for projects they designate as simple; more complex ones are 6-8 months currently). 

But here&#039;s an example. One of the forms I filled in (and I don&#039;t remember if it was the Zoning Project Application, the Zoning Certificate Application, or the Zoning Use Questionnaire, but I know it&#039;s one of those three) asked was the property vacant, and if so, had a Change of Occupancy Inspection happened? I asked the landlord/property manager, who didn&#039;t know. I went to the sweet (I am not being sarcastic) lady in Zoning and asked her how to find out if a Change of Occupancy Inspection had happened, and how to get the paperwork on it if so, or schedule one if not. &quot;Oh,&quot; she said, &quot;I&#039;m pretty sure we stopped doing those a few years back. Just, uh, just write &#039;I don&#039;t know&#039; and we&#039;ll see if that goes through. Yes, I&#039;m almost positive we stopped doing those.&quot;</description>

		<description>@Berkeleyside -- any more information available about the spike in burglaries?  Why that neighborhood in particular?  Is it the proximity to the freeway?  To the high school?  That the perps are high school age kids seems significant.</description>
