 If UBC planners were _really_ forward-looking, they would have
 adopted my plan for the campus when they first cleared the
 forest: excavate the entire campus to a depth of about
 15m, construct several levels of parking, then roof it over
 with all the buildings we would ever need plus plenty of
 green space unsullied by vehicular roads or traffic.  They
 would also have needed the foresight to include plenty of
 cableways and ducts for the electric and communications
 wiring, fiber, and airconditioning the end of the century
 would need, plus whatever the _21st_ will bring.  Amongst
 other things, they would never have needed to construct the
 gun towers; they could just have wheeled some artillery to
 the seaward end of the parkade.  :-)
