and where there's growth, there's growing pains.  think about it- we never really had much problems like this before because we were never in a growth period like this.  campus construction.  quality of students increasing.  enrollment up.  applications up.  athletics having a golden era.  a different kind of student now attends SB than only 10 years ago.

with that said, sure i see why people are upset, they are protecting their interests.  but my interest, like yours, is for SB to get bigger and better every day. 

ive always thought SB was kind of a bit like villanova in the sense that its in an upscale suburb, that will try to prevent student housing, too expensive for kids to rent, so they stay on campus, the college town stalls or is non existent, etc.  In some ways, SB's college town is a few miles down the road in port jeff- unfortunately.
