Guccifer casts out Hillary

[Hammerskjold]

Well, I was referring to housing in general.

Ah, right then. A year ago there was some real estate ads here for cheap properties in Detroit and Florida. IIRC it was touted as a real bargain, a bit of a fixer upper perhaps.

But, my analysis of Student Housing is more that it is roughly competitive with apartment living in the same area, which tends to be inflated due to excess local demand during the fall and spring. Our university resident housing offers most of the amenities you'd find in upper scale apartment complexes, like work out center, high speed internet, pool/sauna/whirlpool, coffee shop/ ala carte cafe. Although, our housing costs also include amenities that many apartment complexes do not offer, such as; resident advising, improved security, and computer labs.

The dorm of now is not really comparable to what was served 50 years ago. Competition drives us to try to have appeal in most every part of the student experience.

Yeah, during my college years my particular school was just finishing up it's dorms in my graduating year. Last time I was in an upgrading course , most on campus housing was fairly nice. Though depending on the location space and food was still an area where valid complaints and concerns arises.

Not too many colleges and universities are going the "Budget Experience" route, except the "paper mills".

That's just like, classicist Borscht Mumbo Gumbo, man. Mmmm, gumbo.

But getting back on track with the more interesting discussions previously. Though it is still early in the pre-show, will there be a defining idea(s) and issue(s) for 2016. Even going back to your first post, technology has changed many of the old routines and standbys. IIRC Clinton did not even have a traditional bid announcement. Will things just descend into a neo-tribal allegiance, and ultimately boring and shallow identity politics. Will a voting bloc emerge similar to previous eras, or has digital media and delivery changed that pattern.

Before the true believer tantrum sidetrack, we've touched on issues of higher education. We already mentioned Sanders. Jeb Bush, if he throws his hat in (and he seems to be strongly hinting at the possibility), how would his record on education be scrutinized and parsed. He's big on education reform as Florida's guvnah, and a supporter of Common Core.
