The expected prices - 330k per room - is not an effective way to provide for poor people who need housing. If that is what you want to do, then you need to build cheap housing, not a monstrosity that manages to be both barely livable and also very expensive.

The powerful land-speculation lobby (Monoplex owners) block every attempt at this. Munger Hall is the result. If you don't like that this is being built, your quarrel is with the suburban climate arsonists who hold up every development for extensive review until it dies.

I posted another comment comparing this to UC Berkeley's new dorm. Munger Hall is cheaper by $360 per sq ft.
