<p>I think mixed use is the way to go. Even if a model like Yale’s might be marginally better for students (not residential colleges but clearly marked boundries), and I believe it is unclear if it would, the negative externality it would impose on the community would be high. Scale back the police presence and lose some key stores due to a lack of student patronage and before you know it Hyde Park does become just another South Side burnout. Right now, I think it is manageable urban living for students.</p>
