@Ross - And, lo, the rainbow-farting invisible unicorns would be displaced from this, the lastRead More "Class Sparkle" soil in the entire East Bay!

Breaking news: The property at 6th and Harrison slated for Urban Adamah expansion has beenRead More "occupied" by a group calling itself Preserve the Vacancy. An anarcho-syndicalist offshoot of radical Buddhists, the group has declared that the current "vacant-lotness" is necessary to clarification of inner awareness, and that any planting there, sustainable or no, would be a tragedy. "This is one of the few undeveloped sites of Class 1 karmic balance left in the Bay area," said group spokesperson Shanti McErewhon.
Jack Osborne May 23, 2013 at 05:25 pm
David beat me to it on this one. Here's a great example of a much more reasonable approach toRead More supporting the principles that the OTFers claim to stand for. In fact, in my opinion Urban Adamah has put the OTF crowd to shame, and further driven home the point that their actions are truly misguided. And to also demystify all the blather about "Class 1" soil, what it's appropriate for, and whether it all really matters: http://soils.usda.gov/technical/handbook/contents/part622.html My favorite part: "Class II (2) soils have moderate limitations that reduce the choice of plants or require moderate conservation practices." Sounds perfectly workable to me.

Congratulations, Carla. The article failed to mention what a great neighbor you are.

@Dover: The parent birds didn't look like doves. They were the commonly seen dull-yellowish birds.Read More Smaller than a pigeon but larger than a sparrow. Robins? I can't tell for sure. We checked the abandoned nest. To my eyes, it was well built, and stably setup between grape branches. It didn't capsize. The dead baby birds were found at least 5 feet away from the ground right beneath the nest. Something must have got them out of the nest and killed them. We didn't look at the corpses in detail to decide the cause of death though.
Robby Sun May 20, 2013 at 10:09 pm
@Ross: I was wondering that too. It could be the squirrels, which were very active in my backyardRead More and the neighborhood. They still are very active.
Dover May 20, 2013 at 09:31 am
I agree with Ross. A predator would have eaten those yummy, tender, tasty baby birds. It soundsRead More more like a case of incompetent nest construction to me. Were they doves? Doves are well-known for their inability to build proper nests but there are others who struggle too. Instinct and ability do not always travel hand-in-hand. Not much you can do about that, unfortunately. Some creatures are incompetent. Some people are incompetent. That's life.
Debris collection now at 10 days
Ralph Whize May 20, 2013 at 10:12 pm
Got thru to the City Inspector (twice) and he finally called the contractor, who (at the end of dayRead More 12 of trash build up) moved the debris pile away. Albany Planning Commission meeting is 2nd and 4th Wednesdays at 7:30 pm and I'm hoping local homeowners will take time to address this and other CV issues.
Dover May 20, 2013 at 09:40 am
Hey! Cool! Now I know where to dump my unwanted items! ;-) Seriously though, "the city"Read More is not helpless, "the city" is lazy and sometimes you have to kick them in the ass to get them moving. What have you tries thus far? I assume you have communicated with the CV owner or contractor. What else have you done?
Ann Farmer May 19, 2013 at 06:22 pm
This is not only an eyesore. This is a health hazard. The boards you see in the photo have nailsRead More sticking out. This area has become the trash heap for anyone walking by wanting to dispose of garbage. With bins overflowing, trash is blown down the street into residents' yards.

I intended to add: Now, if only UCB would treat its other land holdings, like the Gill Tract, withRead More similar respect. Who wants another parking lot? Not me. Build "Senior Housing" at transit-friendly El Cerrito Plaza, not on the last patch of arable land left in the East Bay!
Jamie Jensen May 23, 2013 at 06:26 am
This Executive Summary, makes it sound OK. Better than another 1991 Fire, for sure: To reduce theRead More potential for these areas to support and spread wildfires, UCB proposes to eliminate eucalyptus, Monterey pine, and other non-native trees that promote the spread of wildfire. Oak and bay trees and other native vegetation present under the larger non-native trees would be preserved and encouraged to expand.
