I don't think this is the issue. See lou's comment above. What he describes is the issue. Its not "who", demographically that causes the problem. Its the behavior that is the problem. In this case the bad behavior is associated with a ceratin demographic.

Its true this type of bad neighbor can and is found in any demographic. However, as described, the offenders in this case more often than not are associated with one described demographic -students.

Denying the problems that lou describes is not a defense against perceived "prejuidice". Again, the problem is not the students, its the bad behavior associated with the student demographic. In other neighborhoods its a different minority demographic that causes problems for the majority.

is there anyone here who can say they have not witnessed what lou describes? I don't mean 4x a year. I mean every weekend and sometimes weeknights too. Everyone here has known of a party house like this where there's a big bash every weekend the nieghbors be damned. There is no reason why any member of a community, whatever their deompgraphic description, should be be allowed to do this just because of their demographic description.
