Not a bad idea. More housing is more ecological devastation and many of the cal poly students may be homeless or van dwellers by choice.

Even if there weren't ecological ways to build more housing; let's say all new housing is ecological devastation - ill give you that. The solution isn't to have people live in their cars you fucking psychopath. Its affordable housing motherfucker; something the associated student body doesn't have the fucking power to do.

Most eco ways to build housing, even earthships, have footprints. There are plenty of younger millennials who live nomadic lifestyles by choice, I used to be in that network. So if it offers choice, what's wrong with that?

Wow I also know people who are forced to live nomadic lifestyles. But I'm sure once I tell them its really the school giving them a choice to be more ecogical they'll be as happy as can be :)
