Who's talking about bulldozing Tracy? The article is about a three-unit condo in the already dense Berkeley/Emeryville area.

Legally a condo, but notably, no shared walls, so nothing like apartments or town homes.

Tiny back yards, but mine (which was built by the same developer as the cargo bike picture development in the article) is big enough for me. Not my wife, but c’est la vie.

To use two extremes. Berkeley is probably somewhere in the middle with some single-family areas and some more urban areas.

Only due to the hills and the older homes. Berkeley is an urban area, full stop.

It just doesn’t want to acknowledge that due to NIMBYs
