3 bedroom townhouse style apartments. Section B was organized in courtyards, with 3 buildings around most courtyards. Balconies faced the courtyard, which allowed parents to monitor playing children. Each courtyard had laundry drying areas and a grassy central area. Apartments had balconies, sliding glass doors, an outdoor storage closet, and in-unit laundry machine connections. Stoves, refrigerators and wall heaters were provided. Third story apartments even had views of the bay. Section B opened in the August, 1962. The initial rent was $70 - $90 per month. In 1964, the UC purchased the 11 acre Harrison tract in Berkeley just south of the Village as a location for future Village housing. It would never be developed by the University, and in 1997 was sold to the US Postal Service and the City of Berkeley. On Feb 4, 1980, the UC housing director met with 200 resident families and announced a plan to raise their rent to pay for housing construction for single students. The proposed rent increases for a 2 bedroom apartment each year were 15% in 1981 and 1982, 25% in 1983, 1984, 1985 and 1986. The proposal would triple the rent in just 6 years. Up to that time, the Village operations, debt service, utilities and maintenance had been covered by rent, and the rent had been affordable. Residents protested the unfairness and unaffordability of the plan. The university argued that government construction loans were no longer available for student housing. In June 1981, after the UC enacted a 25% rent increase, students fought the plan by putting their rent into escrow for several months instead of paying the University. After the protest, the UC dropped the proposal. The rent increases were small for many years, a 20% increase for 1981, then 2 to 13% per year, until 1994. In 1988, the village had 2300 residents from 64 countries. 54% were from USA, 11% Korea, 8% China, 7% Taiwan. 50% of the families had children. There were 670 children 150 of whom were more than 10 years old. There were 119 single parent student families. In 1995, the UC again proposed to raise rent to fund housing replacement, with rent increases of 5-6% for 5 years in a row. Again the village residents protested the unaffordability of the increases, along with the unfairness of residents funding their own evictions to build nicer housing which they would not be able
