In a bizarre twist, Berkeley’s Mayor fell into a massive pothole on University Avenue at the bottom of which he appears to have switched places with his bearded twin from the Mirror Dimension. Following the narrative of the classic episode of the original Star Trek, “Mirror, Mirror,” in which the Vulcan science officer, Mr. Spock, exchanges places with his own double in a bizarre transporter accident, Berkeley’s ineffective leader has emerged as a robust advocate for the ordinary citizens of Berkeley.
The switch was evident from the Mirror Mayor’s change in appearance, specifically the beard and the expensive, fashionable eyeglasses.
Mirror Mayor recoiled from the state of this dimension’s Berkeley. “Berkeley needs to prioritize infrastructure and eliminate ineffective programs. Half of this shit isn’t working and the money needs to go to public safety and other core responsibilities of local government.” The Mayor added, “in my dimension, 100% of homeless services are located in Piedmont where they belong. In fact, I was visiting Walnut Creek when I fell into the inter dimensional pothole as there are none on the streets of Berkeley.”
CMs Hahn and Harrison declared their intention to recall the Mirror Mayor after learning of his experience working for a private, for profit housing developer. “We cannot have a Mayor with private sector experience” declared Hahn. “Running a business teaches one to make hard choices and measure performance of employees and initiatives” added Harrison. “This runs counter to Berkeley values as embodied in our commitment to prioritizing by windsock.”
