A city in Northern California. First came on to the map because of its extreme liberal reputation and for being a Mecca for hippies in the 60's and 70's. *(this is my take on Beekeley after moving here form LA area 8mths ago)*

Berkeley is now classified by different sections.

Berkeley Hills:
The sole reason Subaru and rooftop-boxes are still in business. The Berkeley Hills now serve as an upscale retirement community for aged former hippies who, although raised on the hippie ideology of giving to the poor, they now seclude themselves in an upper class community far away from the poor(we) people downtown. If you're thinking about visiting this part of Berkeley, don't, the streets aren't wide enough for anything larger than a Prius.

Downtown Berkeley:
This section of Berkeley (including campus) is a more urban setting. Pedestrians will walk right in front of your car and give YOU The dirty look for being too close to them. Walk down Telegraph and you'll be asked for change more times than being backstage at a fashion show. Parking enforcement "officers" swarm this area like flies on shit or buzzards on a carcas, only grosser.

Berkeley Flats:
The flats of Berkeley are the only part of town that resemble some sort of normal living situation. Driveways, straight streets, less foot traffic and relatively middle class people in actual neighborhoods.
Friend: "Hey! Wanna go up to Berkeley and immerse yourself in its unique culture?!"

Sane Friend: "Fuck off. I'll just hang out in LA/OC."

A dull, cliquish, mean-spirited, self-important and increasingly dilapidated town in the East Bay of California. Populated by angry white people in late middle age, many probably in the early stages of dementia. Once a bastion of spirited and principled left-wing advocacy its politics have morphed into something approaching a lazy right-wing caricature of "those crazy liberals."
Berkeley just erected a statue celebrating--guess who--themselves. Fucking Berkeley, man.

A city located near San Francisco. It makes Amsterdam look conservative. Once populated by hippies, it is now populated by dirty transients, hippies who think Jerry Garcia is still alive, and yuppies who think they are cool because they live in Berkeley. Due to their socialist government and lifestyle, the cost of living is high, which explains their declining population.
Someday a massive earthquake will hit Berkeley, and common sense will be restored to the Bay Area.

Once a beautiful little town with beautifully maintained houses that was absolutely destroyed in the sixties. The center of anarchy, flooded with smelly panhandlers, a city government run amuck, and a little University, who for a very brief period, had a good football team.

Once thought of as the center of creative, liberal thought, now a boring caricature of itself.

Home to the supression of free speech from anyone who believes in thoughtful dialog with reasoned arguments. Shouting and scull bashing is now the norm, with verbal discourse reminiscent of Year Zero In Cambodia, where "culture and traditions of a society must be completely destroyed or discarded".
Oh yea, Berkeley, Pathetic!

Don't you wish you were as Berkeley as he is?
