San Francisco Chronicle: Yes on Measure S
The vote is a political gut-check for Berkeley’s self-image. It’s not humane to leave the homeless on sidewalks. It’s not fair to businesses, visitors or residents either. Civility and respect deserve a place in public life. Vote yes on Measure S.

East Bay Express: We Support Measure S
Measure S is a reasonable proposal for the city and is not the radical idea that opponents are making it out to be … Measure S will help small retailers deal with the longstanding problem of street people setting up camp in front of their businesses and refusing to leave.
