BERKELEY: Text: Timothy Akin Photos: Peter Beck. What makes Berkeley stand above other college towns? The most obvious feature is the incredible diversity among the people of Berkeley. An amazing melting pot of culture and people, Berkeley is home not on- ly to 30,000 students but to a diversified citizenry found nowhere else in the world. Stemming from its overpopulation and mixed community, Berkeley is plagued by a severe housing shortage, a parking problem, a large homeless population, a nagging crime pr o- blem, snarled traffic, and a struggle between suburbanization and urbanization within the city limits. But along with these misfortunes, Berkeley boasts many more positive aspects which make it the college town so widely spoken about.
