@evandawson @mmackmedia I’m a @Penn alum (something I sadly share with DJT). Years ago, neighborhood around the university was in decline and they considered building a wall to keep students safe. Instead they spent the $ in neighborhood and the wall is less necessary by the day.
Fun fact is the Penn model was used as a case study for the UR Collegetown Development

That’s awesome. Is there an actual case study written up somewhere? Would love to read it...

I feel like college town missed the mark on revitalizing the neighborhood. It really just seemed to bring a bunch of high rent apartments and retail space. Tons of turnover, no real effect on the neighborhood. This is just my opinion, not based on data
