Online classes is the right way to go for Fall 2020. Reassess Spring term closer to the end of the year.
Any / all sports should be cancelled or postponed. Risking your health to watch football? Yeah, that's dumb. Jobs and profit losses be damned.

You're probably right and I took the bait. No way someone with Barstool in their handle thinks that way.
He did go off on landscaping and pools. Heard some of it on WTAW.Tigermom84 said:
Re: Sharp's news today. Thank the lord. Just further proof that some members of our city council is completely out of touch.
Side note: did anyone watch the latest city council zoom meeting? Word was Crompton went off on landscaping projects (again) and swimming pools, harvell screamed out at him and fell out of her chair...
Personally I can't recall all that he said. After two sentences all I heard was Charlie Brown's mother/teacher.02skiag said:

It appears his own students can't stand him when you look at his reviews. Most of his fellow council members can't stand him. Most of the people in town can't stand him. In spite of all this, it's sad that he still gets elected because hardly anyone votes and his NIMBY lemmings put him in office. People must vote. It will get worse in November when Guerra likely takes his seat on council.happyinBCS said:
seems like Lord Crompton wants to destroy the midtown development at this nights council meeting all hail Lord Crompton
Crompton is an economic illiterate. His stance on impact fees proves that. His proposal is so punitive that businesses and developers will simply not do their projects and look elsewhere. Then when he gets $0 in impact fees, the city will be in an even deeper budget hole than the one he spews his drivel about. People around here forgot really quickly about the chimney hill shopping center disaster he spearheaded during his last council stint. It's a shame. The man sits up there in his tenured ivory tower at a time like this and just Lectures the peasants. He has zero situational awareness. His entire resume for being on city council is centered around the litany of meaningless academic awards he has received. He needs to pack his things and move back across the pond.JM84 said:
Still can't believe that he got elected. Rektorik had his faults but at least he wasn't a complete economic moron.
Why do they need more developments in CS anyway? Asking for a friend!JM84 said:
Yup. Land in Bryan already costs 2/3 what it does in College Station and they're waiving permit fees if you're within a certain amount of heated square footage. Add the idiotic $15k impact fee that he keeps pushing and you can kiss any development in CS goodbye.
I have first hand experience on this topic ... and I can assure you, College Station absolutely knows their impact fees can only be absorbed by new homes over 2,500 SF. That's the point.RafterAg223 said:
I just feel like the motivation from Crompton and his ilk isn't rooted in anything genuine. Their utopia has been ruined and those that perpetrated the heinous act must now pay. The issue is that tacking $16,000 in roadway impact fees on to a 1,500 to 2,000 square foot house doesn't make anyone pay. It makes housing unaffordable for a good number of folks. It makes developers/builders walk because they know they cant successfully pass that on to the end user at that price point. They also know that if they eat that fee, they are no longer profitable. There is a compromise on this with a common sense approach. Crompton's proposal is extreme and doesn't make economic sense. I don't think any rational individual would contest that.

Probably more overwhelming numbers and eveidence that this virus is virtually harmless for 99% of people and we will continue to overreact and shut things down and tell the American public how to live.
