something from someone who is well informed and brings good points up for debate. I suspect your frustrated with the facts northsider has brought up and you resort to name calling, your not an "educator" are you? Keep up the good work northsider!

" TO: ryeguy- Please do not forget that apportion of this expansion was to take the burden of on campus student housing and look toward the private sector to fill the shortage. As some have undoubtedly been spoon fed information long ago, and purchased property. As other have approached our Planning Department with projects with 69 bedrooms and 29 parking spaces. Only to be rightfully turned down and later allowed to return and pass with imaginative TND 'SPOT' rezoning and a shameless lapse in good judgement/planning termed 'Satellite' parking. This is not 'good planning, it is turning you head away from future ramifications and costs. "

" I hope it fails. It is ill conceived and would be the death knell for neighborhoods throughout the UWL area of the city. New neighborhoods would become the new student slum housing as people try to flee the parties, and their homes are bought up for rentals. Then comes inevitable decay from absentee landlords maximizing profits in the short term. There is no plan to deal with the added rental units in or near single family zoned areas, the increased traffic, parking for another 800 cars each day near campus, or the added law enforcement for another 1,000 students in town. And Viterbo also wants to increase enrollment by 500 students. Where will THEY live? Next door to somebody, that is for sure. "

" Please do not forget that the new West/Main student housing parking fix was to come up with 'Satellite Parking'. To get the numbers for the present mandated requirements they allowed them to utilize property down the street and not adjacent. This is almost assuredly a road to planning hell. BTW, this is 'poor planning', and worry about the ramifications later. "

" This is nothing for us here locally. If!, they build the new stadium stand back and watch the money needed to correct the parking problems. At the parking hearing they knew where they might place cars to alleviate the congestion. The problem is there was no conversation of funding any of those changes. 'The cart before the horse planning'? Seems overwhelmingly indigenous to the public sector. "

" "$153,600 in budget cuts over the next two years", Gow said. I have an idea, pick me, pick me! Cut the $17 in additional money that we now give Gow and amusingly call it, 'housing allowance'. Then we can find a job that our present 'Czar of Lacrosse Festivities' could partake in, just like a full time job. The expansion? Now that's another issue that these people like to ignore most of the ramifications and changes in debate. The more you know, the concept starts to sink. "

" Here is what Gow is saying -"we will play by the rules - until the rules do not serve our purpose". That is a great education for the students. "
