<p>well, I really do not think that anyone thinks of New Haven as “a city”. I guess if you are familiar ,visually, with the slums of cities like New York, Chicago or Los Angeles, then New Haven does not look that bad. It does look better than 15 years ago…( hell, Harlem, the Bronx and Cabrini Green also look better than 15 years ago )</p>
<p>I think it is the bad thing about Yale. A few of those millions would help imorove the surrounding areas tremendously. Then again Yale is Yale.</p>
