BERKELEY
A federal judge strongly admonished the City of Berkeley Tuesday for its lack of specificity when it comes to finding shelter for its homeless population.
U.S. District Judge William Alsup ruling in a lawsuit by a group forced to leave land owned by BART for , ordered the city to come up with a plan to shelter people for the coming winter, according to Bay City News.
Alsup, though, added, “Do not simply recite the programs the city purports to offer, for they are admittedly insufficient.” The judge also instructed the plaintiffs’ counsel, Civil Rights Attorney Dan Siegel, also a former Oakland mayoral candidate, to provide specific proposals for Berkeley to set aside areas to act as shelters for the homeless.
The order stemmed from a lawsuit filed by between 20-30 individuals who are being evicted for areas owned by BART that surround tracks in South Berkeley.
According to the report, Berkeley has roughly 1,000 homeless individuals living in the city.

I am one hundred percent certain that Judge Alsup's order was absolutely unnecessary, since obviously it is absurd that Bay area “liberals,” and most of whom are phonies, demagogues, charlatans, and just big windbags, would violate the law, or even the spirit of the law.
And still furthermore, the most “wonderful” version of the phonies that pretend to be liberals are the creatures that infest San Francisco and Berkeley.
