From Berkeleyside:
UC Berkeley must slash new enrollment by a third unless high court intervenes

UC Berkeley has boosted its enrollment from 32k in 2005 to 45k in the last year, but only provides dorms for a small fraction of that number, raising rents and, we are told, homelessness in Berkeley. A Berkeley NIMBY group points out that UC Berkeley has never done an Environmental Impact Report on its big increase in student body, and a judge agrees, telling them to roll back enrollment to 42k.
This reminds me that in a world with an intelligent GOP, the Biden Administration would find its lax immigration enforcement and plans for more immigration completely hamstrung by requirements for massive Environmental Impact Reports.
