This document summarizes the history and current state of the neighborhood around the Ashby BART station in Berkeley, California. It outlines key events like the establishment of transportation infrastructure and demographic changes over time. The area was historically redlined and home to vulnerable communities. It now faces rapid changes as the population grows and becomes wealthier. However, cultural institutions and a strong community fabric still exist. Current development plans aim to empower existing residents amid uncertainty about the future.

Question 1Your power plant on Gilligans Island is producing too m.docxmakdul
Question 1Your power plant on Gilligan's Island is producing too much air pollution. You have three choices for dealing with this problem.1. You can pay a pollution tax (one time) of $10m immediately.2. You can close the plant and install a power cable from the mainland. That will cost you $1m at the end of this year, $3m at the end of next year (construction costs) and then $.05m forever after that for maintenance.3. You can retrofit the plant switch scrubbers to reduce the emissions. That will cost $9m at the end of this year and $.01m forever after that for maintenance.Assume that the cost of generating power on the mainland is approximately the same as the cost of generating power at your Gilligan's Island plant and assume your cost of capital (WACC) is 10%. Which alternative world you choose?1 10m2Years01234….Payments01m3m.5m.5m….r=0.5=5m0.1Gilligan's Island will run a cable from the mainland for power and shut down the coconut power plant on the Island. This is a sad day for the island, but it’s the cost of going green here at Gilligan's Island.

AN UNCERTAIN FUTURE
This area has historically been subject to
top-down policy and planning decisions,and
populated by vulnerable communities who
have been at the whim of bigger forces.
There remains a strong community and
cultural fabric,in the form of gathering spaces
and formal and informal institutions.
The current development plans have thus far
been community-centric, and we hope they
will continue to empower current residents.
