Poughkeepsie colleges are poor neighbors
Regarding the dorm proposal for Dutchess Community College, I'd like to remind the Town of Poughkeepsie politicians who the voters are - we, the locals, who live and support the community year round. To even consider dorms for a community college is asinine enough, not to mention devaluating a once quiet woodsy area.
Consider the fact Poughkeepsie has become a complete college town, and we locals must contend with it daily. Look at the destruction Marist College alone has created in the area - quiet neighborhood streets replaced with acres of dorms. Residents cannot even get in or out of Home Depot Plaza due to the obscene traffic, and Washington Street is a clutter of college bar hoppers at night. Try getting into Saint Francis Hospital off Cedar Street. Impossible. Vassar College and its roundabouts are another headache for locals.
Marist, Vassar and DCC, keep it on your own campus, and stop running the locals out of their backyards.

none of these Colleges will escape the wrath of the people in Fairview.
Marist may be blogging about Marist ABROAD - but this blog has lots about Marist at Home. ***smile***
