This passes fire code?
Munger is out of touch with what most students would want in a living space. It’s not just due to his age, but with his weatlh, he has become accustomed to immediate, unquestioned and total
obediance from any business entity he donates to.
I can’t imagine living in a place with no access to outside fresh air. Just the smell of it is invigorating.
My husband and I love the days when it’s not too hot or cold that we can forego the HVAC and open all the windows.
I grew up and lived into my ‘forties with no air conditioning, and often with radiator heat. I haven’t been as healthy since I moved into places that had central air ‘conditioning’.
I want my air fresh whenever possible - not ‘conditioned’.
Sheesh, hang a screen on the wall and stream outside video. Your choice of views!
Sounds East German to me.
Whole point of having a nice dorm is to be able to study for long periods without succumbing to the temptation to leave. Having a window is um, integral to that.
Munger really is a clueless curmudgeon.
A person staying in a dorm room needs to be able to see through a window to view the out-side scenery. Is it sun shine? Raining? Snowing, windy, morning evening noon. A link to the real world. You want to know what is out there such as to properly prepare for a venture into the outdoor environment.
It will be green because it is more energy efficient. It may be coming everywhere.
They should build in the capability to cheaply install windows and knock down walls to increase room size so the conversion can be easily made once he dies.
This is stupid. I bet he wouldn’t live this way. Somebody a long time ago should have refused his money and taught him that he can’t always buy anything, or anyone, he wants.
“When this thing goes up and becomes an extreme success, which is absolutely inevitable, I think there will end up to be more buildings like it on the UCSB campus,” Munger said.
I’ll take the other side of that bet.
I agree with his motivation to get kids off social media and video and outside at least....
Satan himself could not draw up a more diabolical blueprint.
Let’s go Munger!
No student in their right mind is gonna wanna live in that fungus. bacterial, and insect ridden prison....I don’t wanna be there when the microwave catches fire from the popcorn. Or when the hvac goes out. It could very well be a death trap. You need views and fresh air. And an easy way to get in and out for lots of people. I would not go to ucsb if I had to live in that building. I would rather live in a camper off campus and take a electrically motorized bike to class.
Perhaps there is a method to his madness.
Maybe he feels students should be encouraged to be anywhere else - the classroom, the library, out with friends, at work - anywhere except for inside the dorm room.
How is everyone going to get out if the big one hits?
Ah billionaires - May they continue to annoy us with their hobbies.
Munger, the 97-year-old vice chairman of Warren Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway...
None of these evil A$$holes ever die!
How do you throw water balloons at the poor peons walking down below?
