> not how car problems are solved in California

Stop trying to solve the problem for California. Focus on the narrow problem. Universities everywhere operate as a parallel population.

Well, it's also not how car problems are solved at UCSC, either.

UCSC is an enclave on a hill with limited transport routes to downtown or the rest of the world. And the UCSC leadership has its hands tied by many different things; they can't just say "OK no cars on campus except if you are a commuter".

Right, this is how you solve it. (Most students don’t need a car parked on campus to get to the rest of the world from Santa Cruz.)
