Why build at all, when the money could go to student bursaries?

Why stop at five above-ground storeys?  
Build higher, and make UBC look like downtown!   

Imagine -- if there was enough student-housing on campus,
then there wouldn't need to be **any** automobile-parking on campus,
and all those lots could be converted to rhododendron-gardens!

Why not a Skytrain station, too?

Why not a parking-garage for bicycles?

Why only 5 levels of underground parking?
Make it 10 levels, in order to encourage more people to bring their
four-wheeled pollution-generation devices onto campus!  

Bigger!  Higher!  More concrete!  Less view!  More crowding!
