Today's students are tomorrow's captains of industry, Nobel prize
winners, bonzai fanciers, and parents of those who come after us. Why
tell individuals who have invested such major resources in their
continuing education that they are less than welcome? Whatever would
happen to the real estate market in this city were there not scores of
thousands of households in the post-secondary education industry? Whence
would come the next generation of workers in our overall economy? There
are so many "permanent and primary" student residences in Minneapolis
that I should think any sensible neighborhood would want to embrace and
celebrate this talented and industrious part of their community,
encourage integration into the larger life of the city and the region,
and dissuade these representatives of society's future from ever
planning to depart. These are urban advantages to be made the more
permanent and primary in my view.
