Read the original letter.

I lived in Evanston for 9 years and there is serious tension between the university and the community. I know that lots of places have town vs. gown issues, but these are exacerbated in Evanston by race and class.

For example, the first winter I lived there, it snowed while I was out of town, and I called the city info line to ask how much the ticket would be if I couldn't get someone to go move my car for me. The response was, "oh, you live in the NINTH ward? Don't worry, the tow trucks won't get down there for at least three days."
