You're asking, so, per OP and with no more data (which you did not provide):

as population increases, more will seek a desirable good — UC Berkeley education.

The data you didn't provide might be, for example, a school which could suitably meet the increased demand.

outside1234 suggested (UC) Merced or (UC) Davis as schools more suited to expansion than Berkeley. Ostensibly, all UCs are high quality education destinations. I don't know that Merced has earned distinction yet, but UC Davis is distinguished and interested parties could discuss the relative level of distinguishment.

I think it's pretty safe to say that UCB has a much more "elite" reputation than Merced or Davis.

(Whether or not you actually get a higher-quality education at UCB isn't really relevant; the perception, rankings, etc. are what matter when people decide what school they want to go to.)
