<p>I can only wonder what went through people’s heads as they built a building RIGHT ON THE FAULT LINE. Then, decades later when the structure is old and weathered, to proclaim it a historic place so it CANNOT BE RETROFITTED OR DEMOLISHED. But sure, students should still live in it. After all, male students just love and appreciate history and ancient buildings.</p>
<p>Oh well. Earthquake epicenters don’t always occur at the fault line if my memory of 6th grade geology serves me right.</p>
<p>Well it usually goes like, “Oh, let us build a beautiful building right at the foot of these hills where it’s still pretty flat–it’ll be all nice and cozy tucked up here, yet still accessible!”</p>
<p>But of course, “hills” = one side of the fault, “pretty flat” = the other side.</p>
<p>The historical designation was justified… the decision to exempt “historical” buildings from the “buildings for housing kids should not be deathtraps” law was not.</p>
<p>And whatever, U4 is still better than the Units–remember the “Emergency Management Area” I mentioned before? Units 1 & 2 have something similar, albeit they get to camp out on Underhill’s field… yannoe, right on top of a four-level underground parking garage. Totally not what leads up to some kind of documentary-worthy catastrophe. Really.</p>
<p>Although I might be mistaken. It’s either Underhill or People’s Park. That’ll go over real well.</p>
<p>Bowles looks like Hogwarts.</p>
<p>Bowles is pretty much on the fault, but so is the entire Memorial Stadium.</p>
