Oh, I know about the deeded land. The thing that is most frustrating still, is the problems that Temple still has to deal with, when it comes to their neighbors (landlords taking advantage of the real estate, trash, etc) in order to be "good neighbors" outside of the lip service that they do once a year for MLK Day of Service or whatever.

Nobody wants to work on long-term solutions to these problems, though. That's why gentrification (and what we saw on Super Bowl Sunday, with car-flipping) is still happening without the new stadium. And a new stadium is still not a good idea.
