I think if Dal/TUNS was smart, they would do better then that, and use the
money they are going to put into rent for who knows HOW long, and build a
building. That way, they wouldn't have to worry about leases, rent, taxes,...

It's the same argument for why if you are going to live somewhere for a LONG
time, you should buy instead of rent... It just makes sence! (and saves a
LOT of money)

I DO NOT think that Dal should in any way consider that having a deal with
Metro transit is a good thing. I would be ashamed.

I know that the CS department at TUNS _has_ to move to the Maritime Mall in
the interm, but I don't think that the
department/faculty/institute/(substitute any other name) should stay there.
