Here the students of the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), have been distressed about the escalating housing costs that have continuously burdened the community. Affordable housing is fundamental to student success and well-being, yet many of us struggle to find reasonably priced and safe accommodations in and around Isla Vista. This situation not only affects the academic performance of students but their mental and physical health as well. With our collective effort, our struggling community will find a solution to end this persistent problem.
