Rights versus housing law sparks Berkeley protest clash
Vin Suprynowicz argues HUD oversteps in using the Fair Housing Act to shield protests against a Berkeley halfway house for homeless drunks. He notes HUD threatened activists with fines and jail but later backed off, while warning free speech must be balanced with housing rights. He questions expanding so called rights and cites Achtenberg statements on free speech versus discrimination. He laments potential overreach and imagines extreme population-balancing scenarios.
