<DIV>Visionaries:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have a passing interest in property tax and NSA. Saundra Lund and I
have spent considerable time over the past year thinking about it, asking
questions (get that part, Donovan?), and apparently, learning more about its
claim to non-profit status than its current president. Nonetheless,
I must thank Vision 2020 poster, Mr. Mail, for his very astute description of
the expansion of NSA until, at some point the population of
that center of learning will spill over and run down the gutters of
Main Street. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>"It is important to note that NSA's future growth is not merely
hypothetical. It is a coming reality. NSA has expanded from 4 students when it
was first founded to over 140 students in the last year. Now, when NSA gets
accreditation (which will occur most likely in the next year or two), that
expansion will be uninhibited in a new way. With each student paying over $6000
a year in tuition, the college will be able to expand it's campus in the
downtown."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I guess that might make some kirkish hearts beat faster, it makes me
want to vomit. Additional property tax loss to Latah County - that's
certainly nothing to cheer about.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>And now, we have Donovan's thoughtful remarks about how he sees students in
NSA uniforms (what uniforms ???? do you mean those pretentious little Harry
Potter dresses, just like they wear in a "real" British universities) pop
in and out of shops like clever jacks-in-the-boxes - doing their little
businesses? What in the world does that have to do with anything? A
pack of gum here, a steno pad there, yes, I know it all adds up....</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>How bout this for a novel idea? No more zoning "mistakes," and lots
more retail and service outlets, preferably locally owned, in the central
business district. </DIV>
