Fascinating! One of my best friends met her husband when they were grad students at Berkeley in the early 70s. Of course, plenty of fraternization went on in those days. ;) He later became a professor there. They bought up a few very small buildings to rent out after buying and fixing up a gently decaying Victorian fairly near campus, and she's still the landlord at below-market rates for students -- the housing supply isn't any better now at any price.

I will be seeing her and her delightful grown son+spouse this weekend and will insist they read at least this, if not all the books.
