The article discusses the escalating costs of college tuition, blaming excessive administrative spending and the ease of acquiring government-backed loans and grants for rising prices. It argues that colleges need to significantly trim their expenditures to bring tuition back to affordable levels. Additionally, it criticizes proposed housing developments near transit lines, asserting that such projects would exacerbate suburban traffic congestion and disrupt neighborhood integrity. The piece concludes with a call for state leaders to prioritize ownership issues in new housing developments to make housing more affordable.
The rise in tuition fees is largely a result of runaway spending by colleges, driven by easy access to loans and government grants.
Colleges should drastically cut spending to bring tuition prices back to an inflation-adjusted, rational number.
Transit-oriented housing developments will likely lead to more cars on the roads, undermining the quality of suburban neighborhoods.
State leaders must address the issue of who owns newly constructed housing to effectively tackle affordability.
