No, I am completely willing to admit that I will probably feel differently in twenty years -- or even ten. But at this point, I have very little sympathy for anyone who moves into a neighborhood of college students and then gets mad when there are couches on the porch. I have the same amount of sympathy for any students who move into a neighborhood primarily composed of families and then are surprised that their neighbors don't appreciate their loud parties and vomiting in the bushes.
And many of these people who are complaining about the students were once students at the very same school themselves -- like the Kip Tyner mentioned in the article. And I'm sure that when Mr. Tyner was an Alabama student, his house didn't look like it should be gracing the cover of House Beautiful either. Another one of those "It was okay for my generation, but I sure don't want my kids doing it" things, I suppose.
