Kamala Harris childhood home landmark-status effort dropped in Berkeley, California

Vice President Kamala Harris' childhood home in Berkeley, California, won’t become a historical landmark anytime soon.

The reason: The current owners of Harris’ former home expressed concerns that the landmark status could be disruptive to the quiet neighborhood, Steven Finacom of the Landmarks Preservation Commission said, according to the Bay City News Service. "Berkeley does not require owner support for landmark designations, but in this case, and given the tumultuous times, I'm happy to honor the request of the owners and will not pursue submitting the landmark application," Finacom wrote in an email, outlining the homeowners’ concerns for their longtime neighbors’ solitude. However, the home is already well-known in the area and is regarded as an unofficial landmark. In November, supporters of Harris flocked to the home to celebrate after the Biden-Harris ticket won the presidential election, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
