I wanted to read this article because I assumed it was a satire piece. No, it’s merely a summary of a particularly bone-headed decision, trying to mix senior residences and undergraduate housing in the same place. I did 8 years in uni housing and now have grown old. The social, auditory, cultural, … environments or the two are basically night and day. Trying to adapt to each other was either a land grab on the part of the senior housing builder (drive away the students) or university people smoking the good stuff. It’s like the cliche of: town builds airport a distance away from town. Over the decades, housing grows towards airport. Eventually, people complain that the airport makes too much noise, should never been built that close to people’s houses and should be closed.
