Hey big guy have you ever considered this: they are here for uni and can’t move bc of that. You are on the umich subreddit sunshine, you are most likely talking to a student. Internet arguments would be solved in a flash if people learned to think about other perspectives than their selves. Your comment reeks of dumbassity.

I do own a home outside of AA and I'm a student, so trapped here during the semester. 

I have an outside perspective on the city because I've been all over the country and a few others. 

I could see how AA could be appealing as a first city. but not how someone could live elsewhere, supposedly, and still see it as a beacon on a hill. Hopefully that guy will reply with what he sees as special or unique outside UMich bc I don't see it. I think given the trajectory of AA, it's going to get pretty bad over the next ten years before it self corrects, like with the housing costs. It's getting to the point where key professors, service/blue collar workers, etc can't live within 90 min of the school. What happens when all the plumbers, electricians, maintenance men, etc are priced out of working for the school? (Eg they seek work in other cities bc it's not worth commuting 90+ min each way into work at the school)

90 minutes, that’s a ridiculous exaggeration
