Students will return to Central Michigan University in the fall, the Mount Pleasant school announced Monday, despite expected continued health concerns over the coronavirus pandemic.

Students are likely to be sitting farther apart in classrooms, and dormitory suites will have fewer residents, but the school’s 21,000 students will be back in Mount Pleasant, CMU President Bob Davies said Monday in a news release.

Good. College students have next to zero chance of dying from Wuhan virus.

Dude, in sales tax states it's going to be a blood bath. I don't know Houston at all, but since most places pay sales taxes monthly, we won't know until they're paid in May. March was a cut back in some places, but April was shut down. That money is gone. I think the sales tax funds being substantially short of the estimates is going to wake some people up.

Yes, and the mayor of Nashville, TN is predicting a +30% increase in local property tax to compensate for the significant reduction in sales tax.

Thursday's suits were filed in federal court on behalf of Xaviera Marbury, a student at Pace, and an unnamed student at Columbia. Both complaints say students are owed reimbursement as well as damages for services that are no longer available now that campuses are closed. In both cases, those services include:

I. Face-to-face interaction with professors, mentors, and peers;
ii. Access to facilities such as computer labs, study rooms, laboratories, libraries, etc.;
iii. Student governance and student unions;
iv. Extra-curricular activities, groups, intramurals, etc.;
v. Student art, cultures, and other activities;
vi. Social development and independence;
vii. Hands-on learning and experimentation; and
viii. Networking and mentorship opportunities.

ix. Sitting around a hookah with Marxist professors discussing social subversion tactics to conquer 'The People'.

I think this makes it important to hold off on buying any real estate now.

As property taxes rise to compensate for the loss of sales tax revenue, property prices will fall.

Let it marinate a while, stewing in the poor judgment of those who shut down the whole economy.

I'm hoping the State of Jefferson will succeed in getting statehood. I could move my primary residence somewhere up there and keep the place in Santa Cruz as a second.

That would allow escape from insane Blue politics and taxes without having to move very far. Rural California is conservative, so two more electoral votes for somebody other than Dems.
