In addition, more than 800 new housing units downtown are either under construction, approved, or in the pipeline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Furthermore, downtown Berkeley has more than 9,000 jobs, as well as 1,200 Civic Center employees, 5,300 city college students, and 3,400 high school students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC Berkeley, one block away, has 36,000 students and 21,000 employees, and Lawrence Berkeley Lab (accessed by shuttle from downtown), has 4,000 employees, and 3,000 guest researchers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Nichols, Berkeley’s 2012 Downtown Area Plan and the amount of new development were major factor in Berkeley’s projects being ranked so highly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Council member Capitelli agreed. “I think we’ve worked very hard on the downtown plan,” he said. “We’re being rewarded for our hard work.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

You’d probably have to be cornered by a bear or mountain lion to claim self-defense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland and San Jose have similarly strict laws with few exceptions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berkeley’s municipal code appears to leave the largest loophole, \u003ca href=\"http://codepublishing.com/CA/Berkeley/cgi/NewSmartCompile.pl?path=Berkeley13/Berkeley1372/Berkeley1372.html#13.72.020\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">an exemption\u003c/a> for “persons using firearms for the purpose of destroying noxious animals upon land owned or occupied by them.” Berkeley officials confirm the law is on the books, but they refused to offer an example of when it might apply, or even a definition of “noxious.” (The law in Berkeley might be trumped by the state Fish and Game Code, which \u003ca href=\"http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=fgc&group=02001-03000&file=3000-3012\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">prohibits\u003c/a> discharging firearms within 150 yards of an occupied building.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Residents of cities other than Berkeley may wonder if they’d be allowed to kill animal intruders with their bare hands, or perhaps tilt the scale slightly with a tire iron or shovel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Probably not. It’s illegal to kill \u003ca href=\"http://www.fgc.ca.gov/regulations/current/mammalregs.aspx#250\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">certain animals\u003c/a> that have a legal status, regardless of whether or not a gun is used. Animals like deer, mountain lions, gray squirrels, bears and turkeys, to name a few, are \u003ca href=\"http://www.fgc.ca.gov/regulations/current/mammalregs.aspx#310\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game animals\u003c/a> and thus require a permit to hunt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Distressed citizens can request a depredation permit from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, which also requires contracting a licensed wildlife control operator who must act as the property owner’s agent. Once the permit and wildlife person are in place, the target animal must be euthanized (because problem critters won’t be relocated), and no one’s allowed to eat it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s no early turkey dinner,” said Conrad Jones, a CDFW scientist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You may legally kill mice or rats by any means necessary. Just don’t use \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/science/article/Toxic-rats-mice-spur-rodenticide-battle-4153464.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">certain pesticides\u003c/a> that are likely to cause ecological damage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Raccoons—those lovable, intelligent garbage bandits—present an interesting legal quandary for the potentially murderous homeowner. Technically, “you do not need a permit to dispatch them if you are suffering damage,” Jones said. But you might find yourself arrested for poaching a fur-bearing animal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what can you do?\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Don’t feed them directly, and don’t feed your pets outdoors. The more the wild animals get, the more they’ll demand. (If you actually want to help the wild animals, consult \u003ca href=\"http://yuwr.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yggdrasil Urban Wildlife Rescue\u003c/a>.)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Secure your garbage cans and cat doors.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Pick up fallen fruit.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Build good fences.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>If confronted, make noise or spray water.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>If that doesn’t do the trick, contact the Department of Fish and Wildlife, your local animal control office or a licensed pest control service.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>For more detailed recommendations on a variety of species, visit this CDFW \u003ca href=\"http://www.dfg.ca.gov/LivingWithWildlife/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">resource page\u003c/a>, or read these \u003ca href=\"http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PDF/PESTNOTES/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">detailed documents\u003c/a> from the UC-Davis.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, get yourself a pair of binoculars and perhaps a telephoto lens. Some of these critters are downright fun to watch. Like this turkey in North Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sh-92jQGHgc]\u003c/p>\n\n",

You’d probably have to be cornered by a bear or mountain lion to claim self-defense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland and San Jose have similarly strict laws with few exceptions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berkeley’s municipal code appears to leave the largest loophole, \u003ca href=\"http://codepublishing.com/CA/Berkeley/cgi/NewSmartCompile.pl?path=Berkeley13/Berkeley1372/Berkeley1372.html#13.72.020\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">an exemption\u003c/a> for “persons using firearms for the purpose of destroying noxious animals upon land owned or occupied by them.” Berkeley officials confirm the law is on the books, but they refused to offer an example of when it might apply, or even a definition of “noxious.” (The law in Berkeley might be trumped by the state Fish and Game Code, which \u003ca href=\"http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=fgc&group=02001-03000&file=3000-3012\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">prohibits\u003c/a> discharging firearms within 150 yards of an occupied building.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Residents of cities other than Berkeley may wonder if they’d be allowed to kill animal intruders with their bare hands, or perhaps tilt the scale slightly with a tire iron or shovel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Probably not. It’s illegal to kill \u003ca href=\"http://www.fgc.ca.gov/regulations/current/mammalregs.aspx#250\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">certain animals\u003c/a> that have a legal status, regardless of whether or not a gun is used. Animals like deer, mountain lions, gray squirrels, bears and turkeys, to name a few, are \u003ca href=\"http://www.fgc.ca.gov/regulations/current/mammalregs.aspx#310\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game animals\u003c/a> and thus require a permit to hunt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Distressed citizens can request a depredation permit from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, which also requires contracting a licensed wildlife control operator who must act as the property owner’s agent. Once the permit and wildlife person are in place, the target animal must be euthanized (because problem critters won’t be relocated), and no one’s allowed to eat it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s no early turkey dinner,” said Conrad Jones, a CDFW scientist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You may legally kill mice or rats by any means necessary. Just don’t use \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/science/article/Toxic-rats-mice-spur-rodenticide-battle-4153464.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">certain pesticides\u003c/a> that are likely to cause ecological damage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Raccoons—those lovable, intelligent garbage bandits—present an interesting legal quandary for the potentially murderous homeowner. Technically, “you do not need a permit to dispatch them if you are suffering damage,” Jones said. But you might find yourself arrested for poaching a fur-bearing animal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what can you do?\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Don’t feed them directly, and don’t feed your pets outdoors.

(If you actually want to help the wild animals, consult \u003ca href=\"http://yuwr.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yggdrasil Urban Wildlife Rescue\u003c/a>.)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Secure your garbage cans and cat doors.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Pick up fallen fruit.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Build good fences.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>If confronted, make noise or spray water.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>If that doesn’t do the trick, contact the Department of Fish and Wildlife, your local animal control office or a licensed pest control service.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>For more detailed recommendations on a variety of species, visit this CDFW \u003ca href=\"http://www.dfg.ca.gov/LivingWithWildlife/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">resource page\u003c/a>, or read these \u003ca href=\"http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PDF/PESTNOTES/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">detailed documents\u003c/a> from the UC-Davis.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, get yourself a pair of binoculars and perhaps a telephoto lens.
