A homeless man gathers up debris at People's Park in Berkeley, Calif., on Aug. 16, 2022. California Gov. Gavin Newsom says he wants to reform a landmark state environmental law after it was used to block needed student housing at the University of California, Berkeley. The 1st District Court of Appeals' ruling Friday, Feb. 24, could delay the building of a complex at Berkeley's historic People's Park, which is owned by the university, for years or even decades, Newsom said.
