When issues surface in neighborhoods with a strong mix of college students and more permanent residents, it’s not always clear whether the two groups will work together.
The lifestyles of young students and those of families who have settled down can seem incompatible. The annual turnover of student residents can also cause problems. For example, last year, the city of Minneapolis sent an email warning Dinkytown property owners that it would bill them due to students piling up garbage when they moved out in August.
