Because capitalism and private property and free will.

Berkley doesn't get to tell you to live in a cheaper appartement.

In return, you don't get to tell Berkley where they can open a new campus.

I get that in this case the Judge decided to stop the expansion.

I'm just responding to "Why are we expanding Berkeley" bit.

There's no "we" here. There's only UC Berkley and they get to decide how to conduct business.

Berkeley is a public university.

Just because something is public doesn't mean it has to be of poor quality.

It does however raise certain issues if you're arguing for arbitrary governance due to property rights as gp is.

Sure, but people shouldn't dismiss something bad happening to a public institution (as in this case) as inevitable, just because it's public.
