This is the thing. I wasn't for the stadium if the neighborhood was against it, but the much bigger problem is the private student housing that keeps pushing further out into the neighborhood and affecting property values and housing costs.

I thought a solution could have been Temple agreeing to construct more student housing on campus (significantly more, like another Morgan sized building) and requiring all non-commuting freshmen and sophomores to live on campus in exchange for the stadium. Seems like that could've been a huge win-win.

Would you like to explain to the class what kind of effect that has on low income, non-property owning residents

Having known a few I am pretty sure the locals around Temple are not typically renters.

Lots of generational homeowners…some go back 50-60 years.
