Candidate Ryan Maier's loony idea on bringing jobs/investment to Lake Worth: Another College! Whaaaaaat?

This was THE surprise answer of the campaign season in the City of Lake Worth. The people at the South Palm Park Neighborhood Association (on 2/16/15) thought so too. Check out the murmuring of the crowd at the end of his response.

Is he aware, apparently not, that Palm Beach State College's main campus is at the southeast corner of Lake Worth Road and Congress—just west of the city of Lake Worth proper? It's also served by City of Lake Worth electricity. I went to a "small college" in Michigan that had 1,200 students. It also had a campus of 125 acres. Where exactly would this "small college" he talks about go in our little City of Lake Worth?

What he might have said, which would have made sense to say (but he didn't), is try ways to increase transit between the downtown area of Lake Worth and the already existing Palm Beach State College. Then you might see more "younger people" wandering our downtown. Using our small housing as student housing was another unlikely idea.

Was he referring to the Golf Course as a potential location? Hmmmm. This was a real strange answer.
