i wish every few months we wouldn't have to go into mourning over another beloved magazine.

for many of the vote yes crowd, ending the strike early, half negotiated, is enticing.
why are you in such a rush to head back to your mediocre, underpaid lives??
if it's because there's a gold mine at the end of it, just stfu, let us do our work so we can afford rent

The UC is the largest landlord in California, controlling nearly 150,000 beds in university housing. UC also manages $5 billion dollars in real estate investments, including properties owned directly and rented out for profit in UC communities.
Quote Tweet
When UC Labor Relations Director told @KQED that the cost of housing is outside UC's control, she was either mistaken or being deliberately misleading.
As the state's largest landlord, UC can do better. Read this analysis from a @UCBerkeley economist.
