But in all seriousness, no one can honestly think that the students (who are also residents of the community and DO have a vested interest in its well being) who often pay as much as $60,000 a year to attend a university that gives the neighborhood much of its acclaim should’t have any say in the matter and should just roll over to the powers that be. Georgetown University pays money to the government. The government fixes Georgetown community’s terrible roads. I pay money to Georgetown University. If you want pay for your roads. Shut up and let me live.

Forty years ago people said that to members of the black community who wanted to live in affluent white areas. Think on that for a few, and let me know if you still want to “hahahaha” at my civil liberties. We’re not all fortunate enough to be wealthy members of the privileged white elite, you ignoramus.

Magis Row is university owned, but it is not “on-campus”. Google Maps actually has the outline of the campus. It’s the area with the brown background. Magis Row isn’t covered by it.

I’m generally sympathetic to the students’ views, but getting hysterical about the privilege vs. right issue is too much for me. Seriously get over it. I went to a college that restricted off campus living to a limited number of seniors. It wasn’t a violation of my civil rights. It was a feature of the school I could decide to accept (by attending) or reject (by going somewhere else). You’ll get over it.
