Parking in Berkeley California can be a Golden bear, especially around U.C. Berkeley.
There are some very nice reserved spots marked with blue signs and all you need to do is go get a permit.
Where do you get the permit and is it expensive? From the King of Sweden and it comes with about $1.4 million dollars.
They make it sound easy, just pick a Nobel from the King, but I think you have to teach there too. :yesnod:

The Berkeley tradition dates back to 1980, when Polish poet Czeslaw Milosz was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.
He wanted a spot, so he simply asked for one. The parking wish was granted, and it’s since become standard practice—
one that apparently sticks in the craw of the Laureates over at Stanford.
