The forever standing parking garage on Durant just west of Telegraph is less than 3 blocks away. The rates are very reasonable. I've been using it for Cal basketball for the last 45 years.

although both elevators were broken today

it wasn't a problem for me, but not sure how those who have some walking issues got back to their car

Okay, really no offense intended, but anybody who can walk 2 1/2 blocks to the game can walk up some stairs once in a while. I mean is it necessary to find a problem with every solution?

It is the Berkeley way: perfection, as oppose to good enough.

My initial reaction to Redless' post was:
"So, you say you just started following Cal sports?"

Though it is a sadly mainstream American attitude to make the "perfect" the enemy of the "good". If it doesn't solve the issue exactly to specific requirements, why bother doing anything at all?

The question is what's "good enough"? To me it's somewhere between ineffective and unattainable, exactly where depending on one's priorities. Everyone's priorities are different so we're not all going to agree.

I've been attending Cal games for more than 55 years and I've always been able to get to a game when I was healthy enough to sit through it. Last year I had a knee replacement during the season and noticed some of the stairways in and around Haas are wide enough I couldn't reach both rails. To me additional rails in the middle of the wide stairwells would have been "better" but the one rail I could reach was "good enough". To everyone else additional rails would have impeded their movement and been worse.

Someone using a wheelchair would have completely different needs. I can imagine traveling many blocks through Berkeley in a wheelchair to get to Haas but I can't imagine navigating the place without functioning elevators.
