Local issues in Berkeley

Zoning votes, school boundaries, the intersection redesign. Surfaced while there's still time to weigh in, not recapped after the vote.

The decisions that change your commute, your kid's school, and your rent get made in meetings almost nobody attends. On Peachy, the neighbor who reads the council agenda posts what's coming, it surfaces for you, and the public comment deadline buzzes your phone with days to spare instead of arriving as a recap after the vote.

Berkeley packs a remarkable number of scenes into a few square miles. Tell Peachy you're looking in Berkeley and posts from people nearby surface for you, whether they're up in the hills, down by the marina, or a few blocks off Shattuck. The rest of the East Bay is one "a little farther" away.

Say it in your own words

You tell Peachy what you’re looking for the way you’d tell a friend, and the posts that match reach you.
