ann arbor is overrated.

Eugene Kang must have the establishment worried; now they’re playing the residency card. After years of Ann Arborites arguing that students aren’t real members of the community where they live, now it appears that they aren’t considered real members of the community where their parents live, either. Opponent Stephen Rapundalo charges that Kang’s academic-year residence in a 3rd Ward fraternity on the wrong side of Washtenaw makes him unfit to represent the 2nd Ward. But the most troubling sentence of the story, whose first paragraph seems to be missing again: “Michigan election law states that a person cannot gain or lose a residence while ‘a student at an institution of learning.”’ Is this true? Is it just intended to prevent students from running for office, or does it prevent them from voting too?
