Students, landlords in Lexington, Ky., don't want limits on housing density

From The Lexington Herald-Leader: Students and landlords filled the council chambers of the Lexington-Fayette (Ky.) Urban County Government at city hall to complain that trying to limit the density of student housing in a neighborhood would be unreasonable and unfair. Setting density limits sends a "bad message" to students that they are "unwelcome" in the community, says University of Kentucky graduate student Stephen Marshall. A Student Housing Task Force report last month outlined strategies to diminish the collective effects of "dense student housing" with associated problems of litter, noise, parking, demolition by neglect of housing stock and alcohol abuse.
