John,
I'll take a stab at one of your questions: student population at UI. The
predictions that I have seen show that the numbers will continue to rise
because of the poor economy. Historically, students, with no good job
choices in an economic downturn, elect to stay in school (or even go to
school) and get higher degrees. UI is projecting an short-term increase in
the number of students, then for that number to level off.
What I'm personally unconvinced of is that the numbers will not return to
what they were prior to the economy taking a dump. Perhaps someone
knowledgeable from the UI will jump in and tell us why they project an
increased student population.
Best,
Dale

Subject: [Vision2020] City Taxes, again
Thanks to all who responded. Quite a bit of information to absorb, and, of
course, I have more questions.
There has been a great deal of development in and around the city, why
hasn't this development resulted in sufficient increases in tax revenues?
Are tax breaks being given to spur development?
Does the UI expect student populations to keep on increasing in the near
future?
Personally, I would not be surprised by flat or even decreasing student
numbers over the next three to
five years.
How does the combined UI/City growth plan deal with over-development?
Is the UI required to meet some "rent" level comparable with the city?
What impact will the UI have on the city when it makes living on campus more
desirable to fill its housing?
