Absolutely it’s a good thing. They could pay no taxes and that would be fine with me. It’s an ivy legue school in our state, bringing top tier talent into our state. Why would that be bad

While driving the local economy, generating an entire economic ecosystem that generates enormous revenues for the state, local jobs, could go on. It's hard to overstate the positive impact Yale the school and their medical facilities have on the area.

I don’t think any reasonable person would say it’s bad. But I feel there’s a disconnect between having such a high concentration of talent on the doorstep of a city that could desperately use it

That’s how every college town is. Why would top tier talent that makes well over 6 figures the day they graduate opt to stay in a gross place when they can afford to live in a nice one?
