The California Supreme Court will hear arguments over the historic People's Park, and whether UC Berkeley can legally build housing there.

The California Supreme Court will hear arguments over the historic People's Park, and whether UC Berkeley can legally build housing there. The state's highest court announced Tuesday the justices will hear arguments in Los Angeles on April 3, more than a year after a lower court ruled the project’s Environmental Impact Report was inadequate, the Bay Area News Group reported. It wasn't immediately clear, however, what argument the court will be adjudicating.

Critics of the housing say that students will be too noisy, and the university didn't properly study those effects on the surrounding neighborhood or look at adequate alternatives. However, Assemblywoman Buffy Wicks authored AB 1037 last fall, which says that "student noise" no longer counts as "pollution" that should be considered under CEQA.
