I believe Columbia "suffered" a bit from this as well, but from what I've been told, they started buying up the neighborhood by their campus so it wouldn't be so sketch. Is that something Wash U can pull off, as in, are their purchasable areas near the campus or is the crime runoff from an area a bit far off?

They are actually surrounded my older Money, a lot of older money live around Wash U. Problem is, it's also a few blocks away from the shite heads.

Saint Louis U has bought up a ton of Property, but you can only buy up so much. People can still walk from their housing project to the Campus. They have actually wanted to wall it off, like a big complex, but that was considered racist, and it kind of defeats the open, city feel.
