If you would like to see below-market affordable housing at Berkeley’s BART stations rather than unaffordable market rate high-rises, then consider signing the petition on this Web site:

The seven story height limit recommended by City staff works just fine for non-profit affordable housing developers. Such developers have built reasonably scaled housing at a number of BART stations including Fruitvale BART and San Leandro BART. They don’t build high-rises which cost substantially more per square foot to build.
