For those not familiar with UCSB, it's basically a beach campus. The campus itself has two beaches located within. The idea of creating windowless dorm rooms in a location blessed with natural ventilation is as dystopian as it is absurd. Further Santa Barbara being located in Southern California, is quite hot much of the year. It's interesting that Charlie Munger is essentially designing dorms for "other people's" grandchildren. There is no way Munger's grandkids would ever have to live in windowless rooms as they would likely be renting houses off campus. NYU in NYC has a similar self-made housing problem - how to grow the business by growing the number of students year or year in perpetuity. And doing so in areas that already have affordable housing shortages for their regular full time residents.
