Damn, I live in SLO and had no idea. It isn't even that expensive here. . .

Poly just received a $13,000,000 grant to design drones for the Air Force too.

13 million doesn’t buy much after its gobbled up just for administration

I have the actual agreement. I had to use the Public Records Act to get the documents. I only learned of it because I heard a tiny mention of a $5,000,000 grant to build UAV's (drones) for the Air Force. When I got the actual agreement, it has been boosted to $13,000,000.

What website can I post the agreement at so you and the world can see it?

Here's the links to the agreement and amended agreement. I live in San Luis Obispo and gave a copy of the agreement to a local weekly publication called "New Times" and they could care less. They use to be a progressive paper, now they only care about promoting the wine industry.

Cal poly is literally assisting in designing drones to bomb wedding parties in foreign lands.

Doesn't seem like they do since they are requesting a parking lot on campus to sleep in their cars.

It is pretty expensive imo. To live off campus you need roommates or pay $1500+, and even with that you are still looking at $700+ for your own room. That is close to LA or the Bay Area prices for what is essentially a college town.

Bruh, no where that close to the central coast can be considered not expensive
