To the editor: Your editorial, ' CEQA is too easily weaponized to block housing and slow environmental progress,' misses the core issue in the UC Berkeley People's Park case — the university did not analyze alternative sites, a fundamental requirement of the California Environmental Quality Act, not some minor omission. Describing park defenders as NIMBYs is incorrect. Park defenders want more student housing, but we also want to save a National Register of Historic Places site. Supporters of the park are from every part of Berkeley and California.
