Purdue Parking is actually the worst

1 Get rid of affordable grad housing. 2 Drastically increase the number of undergrads. 3 Build new luxury apartments, so that rent throughout the community rises. 4 So lower-paid employees have to live further away, to find affordable housing. And now parking is going to be more cumbersome?

These people who cook your food, clean your dorms, and answer your professor’s phones - a good many of them have children who need to get picked up from school if they start throwing up at recess. They need access to their cars.

And they can’t afford to pay more for parking when they’re only taking down $15-$18/hr as it is.

They’re sure as Hell not going to park their cars out by the airport and take a bus to campus to work for the same money they can earn at Target.

I wish the various components of this campus would work TOGETHER to achieve a strong community instead of just thinking of themselves.
