What city planners fail to appreciate are the long term economic benefits of universities on innovation and high quality jobs. Look at places like Boston and Palo Alto -- they have built tech centers on the backs of strong universities that churn out entrepreneurs, engineers, and the jobs that follow. Georgetown residents love Sweetgreen but there would be no Sweetgreen without the Georgetown students who founded it. The most important asset a society can have is an educated workforce and the best way to build that human capital is to have a strong local education pipeline from kindergarten to PhD.
