The second category of ameliorative findings consists in comparisons between housing conditions in Berkeley and in adjoining areas. It is found that Berkeley is “part of one continuous urban area geographically indistinguishable from Richmond on the north through Oakland on the south” and that the rental housing vacancy rate in both Richmond and Oakland was 6 percent as compared to 3.1 percent in Berkeley. With respect to the low-income group designated as “other young people” it is found that “their mobility is such as to make it possible for them to live in surrounding, relatively high vacancy areas.” On the other hand the finding stating the adverse housing problems faced by the aged and disabled group in Berkeley adds that “their condition is not unlike that experienced in other metropolitan areas.”
