Reply to comment by Mcjibblies in Temple holds safety town hall after student attacked near campus by redeyeblink

The people who work there pay taxes. They are the only thing propping up that area. Not to mention the countless businesses they keep going. To say temple is bad for that area shows you don’t understand the full picture.

Temple is a nonprofit. You think the people in the region paying 10 to 12% taxes is more than that entity paying whatever the corporate tax rate is now?

…..over 40+ years, no less….?

This isn’t even a difficult math problem.

Wage taxes, sure. They don’t own the property. They pay rent to someone who refuses to have the property reassessed or upgraded for fear of owning more.

And there’s this gleaming structure, damn near $1Bil endowment, zero contributed to the public schools literally adjacent to its campus.

It’s laughable, really.

They have zero responsibility to help the community. They do more than what’s fair. College is a business.
