Berkeley, Los Angeles, and surrounding areas are hardly college towns. It's just unrealistic to expect cheap market-rate housing near Cal and UCLA.
The solution should be for the UC Regents to build more on-campus dormitories, reduce enrollment at overcrowded campuses, and build or expand campuses in areas with fewer geographical constraints and lower housing costs. Costs are much lower around UC Riverside and UC Merced. There ought to be another campus in Fresno or Bakersfield.
