The city of Berkeley and BART are looking to transform parking lots into homes to help ease the housing crisis. But their plans could require them to displace a long-running flea market.

"There are a lot of people who do business during the weekends and support their families from here, so it means a lot," he said of the market, noting that many people rely on the market for income.

"So we’re working with the city of Berkeley to find some options for the flea market in the future so that they can continue to operate and thrive because we recognize they’re an important part of the cultural fabric of Berkeley," Allison explained, noting that BART has had five meetings with the flea market board of directors.

Allison added that at least 35% of the housing at the Ashby station development would be affordable housing.

Gee, where will the criminals fence their stolen goods?

There is no housing crisis. There is a homeless crisis. That is, people have been enabled to come here, be homeless, collect some sort of welfare, spend it on narcotics and be all around parasites.

How is BART supposed to increase ridership if there’s nowhere to park?
