Seems like you are embracing the outrage narrative rather than thoughtfully examining the tradeoffs.

1 in 20 UC students are homeless and SB has an acute housing crisis [1]. They are building a dorm for 5,000 students and also need to deal with cost, zoning, etc.

Personally I would have been glad to give up a window to not share a room when I lived in the dorms. I also lived in an effectively windowless (against a brick wall) apartment in NYC, you just spend less time in your room.
