Homelessness - POV issue

Much of the section reads more like an editorial than an encyclopedia entry. Also, much of it deals with homelessness generally, and not specifically Berkeley. You should not be able to gauge the opinion of the author(s) on non-factual issues, but in this case it is quite obvious that the author(s) are on a particular side of the debate. Wikipedia is supposed to be about facts that are backed up by third-party information, not an advocacy forum.174.21.65.181 (talk) 02:07, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Laboratory

I am missing the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, a national lab. -DePiep (talk) 11:20, 6 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Vollmer

Shouldn't there be at least a mention of August Vollmer, Berkeley's first police chief and an important figure in law enforcement? 70.36.136.182 (talk) 23:06, 20 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see much on the police force in general, and thus naming individual chiefs might be undue. Vollmer is definitely notable and is listed at List of people from Berkeley, California, which is linked to at the bottom of the article. At least there's that.
