The town has a lot of politically active people. They've pushed for residential solar, mass transit, controlled development, free speech, reducing emissions, urban forest, opposed the Iraq war, lots of good things. Berkeley was one of the center of opposing the Vietnam war, attacking apartheid in So Africa, etc. So there are occasionally whacko things done, well, you take the bad with the good. Its not like you notice it in daily life, outside of a couple particular areas.
Disclaimer: I don't live in Berkeley any more, but I imagine it hasn't changed in the past 2 years.
