This You can have shuttle buses between campuses from when you really need to be in one place, for example
What about for taking advantage of the perks of being on the main campus, though?
Horses for courses maybe.

Most perks are only for show anyway. I'd rather not have a dog than bring it to work, or just have time to play with it by commuting a shorter distance

I don't understand why people do this. I'm paying $1000/month to own a 2 bedroom house with a huge garden. I built my own office at the end of the garden, which I can guarantee you is several times bigger and more comfortable than a work cube. I work remotely for a major US software company. (My commute is 1 minute if I'm carrying a cup of tea, slightly shorter if not). Edit: picture of the office: http://oirase.anne…
Yeah, but where are you? I'm guessing out in the middle of nowhere. While that appeals to you, it very much does not appeal to me. I like being where people are, where there is stuff to do, different types of food to eat, and culture around.

Just for comparison, that would cover PITI for a 15 year mortgage of around $330k. In cheaper parts of the country, like Dallas, that would net you a 4br 2000+ sq foot home on a 1/2 acre in an affluent suburb.
This is a common but not very useful comparison. My partner and I are 2 people. For what we pay for our Portland apartment we could easily pay for a large-ish house somewhere in a decent sized but smaller city. Doesn't mean we want to live there or even have an interest in a bigger place. What would we do with 4 bedrooms? These kinds of comparisons need to be prefaced with "If you want a big house or are interested i…
Couching every comment with leading text to scope who might be interested in it doesn't scale well. I didn't pitch it as desirable for everyone...and I assumed it might be interesting even to those that don't want it.
For example, I have no intention of ever working in the Valley. But, I am still curious about how peers of mine that do are compensated, and what the local cost of living is.
Great...so our south bay becomes even more ridiculously congested. We need so much better mass transit to accommodate all this growth. Instead of spending billions on a bullet train to Los Angeles, can't we invest that money in better mass transit in the bay area?
That money is (presumably) benefitting the whole state, whereas you're looking to take all that money and just benefitting the small part where you live. Not really fair.
