I went to a school like that. They provided grant-only aid to cover tuition and living expenses for students from most of the US income distribution. I think you will have a harder time finding sob stories about my classmates (at least since the no-loan policies were enacted).

It doesn't seem like the selectivity/prestige effect applies to people who go to for-profit schools. Since prestige is subjective, for-profit schools can market themselves as prestigious while expanding to provide seats to anyone who can obtain a student loan. The government should not be complicit in this deception, hence the action here.

Here is the city's info: http://www.ci.berkeley.ca.us/bicycleboulevards/

The boulevards do not actually block out a section of the road for bicyclists. They are entire roads that optimize for low-speed neighborhood traffic where cars don't need to blast past cyclists.

Based on your description of your situation, short-distance traffic (people entering and leaving their homes) would use Mimosa along with cyclists. Long-distance car traffic would be free to use the full two lanes of Smith at high speed without dodging cyclists.

>Since Smith is 2 lanes each direction with a dedicated turn lane and is parallel to and has the same speed limit as Mimosa, while Mimosa cuts through several residential neighborhoods, has the same speed limit but is one lane each way with no dedicated turn lane: Why not Smith St. instead of Mimosa Ln.?

I'm not sure which side you were arguing for in this case, but Mimosa seems like a good candidate for a bike lane. Look at Berkeley's bicycle boulevards if you want to see an example of how driving-unfriendly roads are a great place to put bicycles.

I had a grant-funded summer internship at a military institute. They gave me a 1099, with all the money filled in to a box that indicated I didn't owe tax. Got hit with self-employment taxes and a penalty two years after. Pretty sure I fit the requirements for W2 and they should have paid but I'm not about to report the military to the IRS or sue them.

>Undergraduates don't have the specialized knowledge required to teach or to contribute substantially to research. Graduate students, however, do both of these jobs.

I don't think grad/undergrad is the right distinction here. I was employed by my undergrad-only liberal arts alma-mater as a teaching assistant and research assistant. And the college employed many of my classmates in other positions. We weren't exploited like many graduated students are, but another institution could have treated us worse.

So if it costs 1% of the budget to move .1% of the population in 1 year, it would cost 10% of the budget to move 10% of the population in 10 years. Clearly a major expenditure but totally doable.

The statement is ambiguous, so it can still be valid. However the use of "length" twice in the same sentence to describe both the dimensions parallel and perpendicular to the crack is likely to confuse some readers. Some people's brains are not going to free the "length" pointer halfway through the sentence.

Office space is about twice as expensive in SF as it is in San Jose. And it seems to me there are more people attached to living there, whether it's the city lifestyle, rent control, or prop 13, to the extent that people are commuting from there to jobs in the peninsula suburbs.
