To the Editor:

It’s amazing how difficult, and in this case dangerous, the Town of Fairfield makes life for the Fairfield University students. The townspeople don’t mind charging outrageous rents for broken down shacks at the beach, counting all their dollars at their delis, restaurants, stores and bars spent by Fairfield students, but GOD FORBID that cars are parked in an otherwise empty lot overnight so that kids can act responsibly and not drink and drive. Where is the University administration on this? Why is it they never seem to stand up for their students?
Cars parked in that lot are bothering no one. The residents still have their Fairfield Beach Residents Association but the students had THEIR Student Beach Resident Association disbanded, who speaks for them?
Do you really think that taking this parking lot away will stop students from going to the beach? If you don’t want the students around, stop renting to them at outrageous profits, stop selling them liquor and food and clothing and you can all go bankrupt. The hypocrisy at work here is disgusting.

Sincerely,
