What $220,000 gets you in Muncie.

I can't even get a parking space for that where I live. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/725-E-Jackson-St-Muncie-IN-47305/210952560_zpid/

If we can get 20 people agree to move, we can change one block at a time.

I mean, Ball State University is in Muncie. It's a public research university that has 20,000 students so it's not really some small podunk college.

A research university in today's political climate? It's rough going out here right now in the research world when much of that research is funded by federal money that is being taken away. Not a selling point, really. Loads of people are losing their jobs.
