Reply to comment by go_berds in Temple holds safety town hall after student attacked near campus by redeyeblink

Temple destroying the community and temple students suffering the effects of crime are two different, separate things. The fact that you correlate the two things shows your own disgusting frame of mind on the issue ie. You assume the community and crime are one and the same.

How is Temple destroying the community exactly? By adding extra police? Providing jobs? Keeping the area clean? Educating young people? Please do tell me how Temple is “ruining” the neighborhood.

Most people who work at Temple don’t live near Temple. They commute.

Landlords are money hungry. They would rather rent a bedroom in a 4bd/2ba to a student for 1200 a month then rent the whole house to a family for a fair amount.

Actually no, most people who work at Temple live near Temple. Maybe not professors, but security, food service, and the janitorial team positions are all open to Temple’s neighbors before they open up the position to other people. (Temple accidentally sent an email out to all @temple.edu email holders explaining this and also stating criminal background didn’t matter and they’d provide SEPTA fair if needed).
