Problem is, subsidies raise tuition. So I say, subsidize poor kids only. That'll shift the tuition burden to rich kids. And do it with grants, not loans.

How does supplying more housing reduce cost, but supplying more professors increases tuition? I'm good w/ needs based grants, but this doesn't have to be an either/or solution.

Supplying more professors doesn't increase tuition, who the hell told you that?!

Sorry, confusion in your "subsidies raise tuition". Underscores why subsidies have to target what you want.

Ah. Yes. Govt. subsidies *will* tend to raise prices, which is why you need to pair it with upzoning so that new homebuyers can buy new houses. This bill has provisions for both; I think they could be more tightly linked.
