One of the consequences of lowering the vote to 18 was the takeover of college and university towns by student voters who paid no local taxes and who would move on after graduation leaving local taxpayers holding the bag. This is why the city of Evanston, IL temporary home to thousands of college students is now offering housing reparations to folks who already got them in 2008.
