When I was there on Gary & Mike (99-01) I knew plenty of people without cars, some could walk from apartments in NW, a bunch biked. In addition, lots of people were brought on temporarily for short term projects like commercials. WTF are all these people supposed to do? Buy cars? Get stuck in some extended stay hotel with Applebee's as the only dinner choice other than schleping into the city? Bad move, IMO. If I had a job offer there, I would consider the campus a negative, I really don't want a half hour (at best) drive each way added to my work week. I want to have the options of pho or a burrito for lunch, want to have a drink after work, and most of all, be close to places that I like to be. I guess I could be called that "creative class" and this move is a turn off for me.
