He didn't even pay for the whole thing! He paid for less than 1/8th of the cost, which is incidentally also the ratio from toilets to people.

look, i guess it is entirely possible that the school took the 97 year old mans money assuming that by the time the plans were drawn up, reviewed by architects, sent to the city l&i department, then went thru the zoning and land development proccess, and then break ground several months later...he'd simply keel over

The 97-year-old man has many, many lawyers, and I will guarantee that the various contracts drawn up with UCSB/the state of California will survive his death.

There's a 1930s dorm on my alma mater and it's that design, but made entirely with asbestos and real wood. Sucked rear end to clean too, no real organization and every room was different but still shoebox sized.

It was the cheapest option and they can't bulldoze it for more lovely 5over1 style dorms because it's historical, pissed the dorm admin off to no end.

had someone at work get mad because people were stating to no-show to their shifts

i asked why they're not mad at the company for refusing to hire enough people in case of these things, or pay people enough that they don't simply stop coming

Could be, I took it as their attitude toward the customer when informing them they're out of whatever it is they wanted
