Players Notes — the stories behind the record

This network shows who appears on the record; the Players Notes series tells their stories. Note № 1: Roots & Reckoning — Indian-origin families shaping Berkeley, from the city's 1916 invention of exclusionary zoning to the rise and fall of Lakireddy Bali Reddy, once Berkeley's largest private landlord. An interactive, fully sourced timeline.

What this view does not know yet

The money is missing. Construction lenders live on deeds of trust at the County Recorder; investors in LLC filings with the Secretary of State. Neither is loaded yet — this page will say so until they are. Coverage is majors-heavy: the neighborhood fabric's hundreds of small builders and homeowners aren't named in the record. And a line between two players means they appear on the same project — the record does not know who hired whom.

Derived 2026-07-15 from the canonical v2 database (organizations × project_participants: developer-of-record, design architect, current owner; pipeline mix uses the same evidence binning as the Pipeline State). Cross-role identities (e.g. a developer that also owns) are one node. Generator: scripts/gen_players_page.py — regenerates from the record; never hand-edited. ← berkeleybuild.com
