According to an article in Sunday’s New York Times Magazine, Oakland is the uneasy host of the Occupy movement’s purest incarnation. That may be. But it’s Berkeley City Council that’s turning Occupy’s ideas into resolutions. 

Last week, the council voted unanimously to pass a resolution that calls on Alameda County officials to consider eminent domain as a means of keeping homeowners with troubled mortgages in their homes. An article in the Bay Citizen Monday traces the resolution’s lineage back to a self-styled Silicon Valley entrepreneur with a shaky financial past and connections to the Occupy movement.
