One of the nice things about Metropolitan State College of Denver is that it's right in the middle of downtown Denver. The downside is that apparently, in order for the school to expand some years ago, a number of local residents had to give up their homes under the eminent domain law. And rather than just knock down these beautiful, old houses, the college built up around them, leaving a constant reminder that they evicted people for the sake of higher education. Lofty ideals, indeed.
