Built on plains-state growth and prairie-pragmatist civics, the Sioux Falls Debate Club is for the kind of person who actually wants to be persuaded, or earn the right to persuade. Short formats. Real moderation. No shouting. Members come from across Sioux Falls to test arguments and build the muscle of changing your mind.
These are planning targets. Read the current details before making travel or attendance plans.
Housing
More homes near jobs and transit could bring rents down. Neighbors worry about parking, traffic and the character of the streets they chose to live on.
Transit
Free fares could help the people who need transit most and fill more seats. Critics say the money is better spent making service faster and more reliable.
Economy
Supporters of public funding point to jobs, visitors and civic pride. Opponents ask why taxpayers should pay for a building whose profits go to an owner.
Economy
It gave workers flexibility and time back from commuting. It also emptied downtown offices and hurt the businesses that relied on them.
Civic life
Car-free streets could bring people, events and business into the center. Shop owners and drivers worry about access, deliveries and parking.
Meetings, venues and how to reach the organizers appear on the club calendar.
