The race-fueled protests at the University of Missouri took a huge bite out of enrollment, with the student population dropping 35 percent since the fall 2015. Local landlords are having so much trouble finding students to rent their off-campus housing that some are offering $1,000 gift cards or major rent reductions, the Devils Lake Journal reports.
A recent Columbia City Council report found that the vacancy rate has risen to almost 10 percent in Columbia—with rates spiking to nearly 13 percent outside a one-mile radius from campus.
The Lyfe at Mizzou, a 450-bed apartment complex with a computer lab and a free shuttle to campus, has tried to entice students with $250-per-tenant gift card. It also promises students they can apply for free and sign a lease with no money down, according to the Devils Lake Journal.
Mizzou provides an off-campus housing search, but several of the property managers we called said they did not want to comment about anything related to the university’s declining enrollment.

Okay I'll admit it. I did get a gift card when I signed my lease.

Apartment complexes literally do this everywhere.

Pretty soon, some of those older apartments closer to campus will start renting out section 8.

I kind of doubt that there are nearly as many SJWs on the Columbia campus as before when all that shite happened. A conservative state like Missouri has surely taken measures to clean house, so to speak. It'll be a long time before they live it down but at least they learned a valuable lesson and the rest of us learned from their mistake, hopefully. I can't imagine that crap happening at another school now.
Sorry for all the shite references, Mizzou fans, but that poop swastika is a classic.

They probably wouldn't approve of my holocaust jokes, anne frankly I wouldn't care
