Exciting Area around Campus

I would think the university would LOVE to yuppify the area. However, development is met with a lot of resistance in the neighborhood, and many people like the way it is.



To be clear, I do think that the university would like to yuppify the neighborhood as well (and it’s happening), but in the sense that they would like to see it grow into a quiet, wealthy, residential community. I don’t think that the university wants Hyde Park to become a commercial attraction. Neither do I think that Hyde Park will ever look like University City, which, from my one visit there, seems everything cue 7 describes it to be.
