The crime and social dynamic that student ghettoes often introduce is the major block for a more economically diverse housing stock. I wouldn’t wanna live there, and neither will most working people because students are obnoxious, rude, and their schedules fundamentally get in the way of their working neighbors’ lives. Hence why developers don’t even bother with such projects: they aren’t economically viable because the consumer doesn’t actually exist.
