Law enforcement also has been neglected.
Law enforcement neglects to do anything meaningful to help the community. Got a flower that makes you feel better? Arrest your arse and steal all your possessions. Someone breaks into your shite? Why did you leave it there, you know someone would do this, why are you wasting my time?
Anyway, there are some NICE apartments around the W. Parker/Burbank area that are absolute shitholes to live in. I think the best bet to live near campus is to rent an older house just off campus with a few people or commute in, not far out maybe 15 minutes off campus gives you some better living situations. Some of those apartments may have 5 bedrooms but they charge each rando student living there to share common areas. Instead of getting $1500/month for a large apartment they are getting $800X5 for the same amount of space. Those buildings are nice but when they just let kids smoke, do coke, piss in the stair wells, don't clean up the puke, etc. etc. it is not a place I want to live. Also those kids are signing up for a semester at a time, they have ZERO investment in keeping it nice for a few years.

I lived on Carlotta while at the Law Center. Is that still a kind of hippie/artist area?

Developers haven't encroached on Carlotta yet.

Just a short CATS ride from 70805. Give the locals some new targets where they don’t have to travel all the way out to St. George

As more and more of these luxury apartments get built, more and more nice apartment complexes turn ghetto.

That will be really nice

The college apartment bubble is almost as bad as the college tuition bubble and they’re caused by the same thing.

That’s right across the street from the house DTL got one of his victims

I love that one of the main selling points according to the media is that it has 60" flat screens.
60" flat screens? wow! Such opulence.

"Developers haven't encroached on Carlotta yet"
accurate for big/corp but after the flood a few years back some of the "plexes" were/ are being bought and redone...has increased rent on some but still in hippie range ..but i know some moved out due to rent increase....tiger manor picked up some houses on state to include in their porfolio..(they then sold their entire portfolio)...todd(canes) bought the house behind his first shop and turned it into corp training office ( he lived there as a student)...he bought the house next to that and turned it into parkig...the chimes group bought all the little houses on state by the frats....now parking (they also bought old poboy on chimes and head shop behind it i think) ..a group out of nola bought the two old houses on chimes by inga and redid them into very nice apts..complex on corner of state:daryl was bought and redone into very nice condo/apt
surprised no one has bought the heart of the area where it is a unique...i think it is because a developer will have to buy out a lot of individuals and concern of one holdout...
they were able to do it by the old tennis courts..

The college experience is definitely far different now than it was just a couple of decades ago
Understatement. ASU in Tempe has some, basically, 5-star resorts as college apartments and sort of started the trend you see at large public schools around the country.
Rich kids and parents gonna pay though, or go in debt to keep up with the Joneses.

I'm in commercial construction and have built a couple of these. The first one I built was at FSU in Tallahassee. Yeah, they look good, but that's the paint and the finishes that do that. On the whole, they are not quality buildings and suffer early on from issues with water heaters, overhead lighting, etc. It's not the fault of the builders. It's simply that the items called out in the specs are low price and of generally lower quality as the owners/developers seek a hastily built product that they can begin marketing and filling in a hurry.
Just like the education provided at many universities, over-priced and lacking in quality as a general rule.

gotta take advantage of the ever expanding student loan money
putting up any sort of apartment near a university nowadays is like turning on your own money printer (but it's actually money from the fed printer)

They've been building places like this in college station for the last 10 years. They're all so expensive I'm wondering how college is remotely affordable anymore.
A few years ago UK outsourced it's student housing on campus to a 3rd party, and they have been tearing down all the dorms one at a time and building luxurious student housing with granite countertops, and everything.
I can only imagine what the cost of student housing is now.

LSU is so far behind other schools when it comes to student housing that it is embarrassing.
This is a good for LSU

There was complex in that area called the Embassy. Is it still there? Seems like a prime target for a teardown. I almost moved there so that I could walk to class in the business complex. West Parker was nothing but 4 plex and townhomes until just 2012, crazy how quick things change when speculators see it's worth.
