hurting the chances of the next generation by added debt and taxes cannot be good social policy one usa city, if astute and agile, like nanjing in china, would build a education zone to house up to 79 higher education institutions comprised of 450,000 students covering topics from a to z, and provide the real estate free of charge to any outfit willing to relocate students and professors from all other cities

'The students use city services - police, fire, water, sanitation, welfare, etc. but do not contribute any revenue, so they have been carried by the rest of the city." Actually,they pay a sales tax on all their purchases,and a gas tax when they fuel their vehicles,and the owners of the apartments and houses they rent pay property tax..also,all the local dining and other businesses they patronize pay property taxes. And the professors employed by the university on the students behalf pay taxes.The students generate a more than fair amount of taxes already.The city would be the worse off without them. They should vote with their feet,and their wallets. regards,P1976
