[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And it is all much better than it was 5 years ago, and will continue to improve. So referring to it as "van mess" is a self-reflective fallacy.[/quote] Van Ness or Van Mess, one problem that will hold the “neighborhood” back is that, thanks to the eponymous Metro stop, its name is forever linked to UDC. That’s a depressive factor on image/desirability/real estate values alone[/quote] Van Ness IS much better than even three years ago. But yeah, it's also true that the UDC campus is a barren Brutalist wasteland, even when classes are in session. Even the new student center -- admittedly a huge improvement on the streetscape -- is empty most of the day. The Murch swing space was pretty much the only sign of life, and now that's gone, too (and UDC officials did everything in their power to make Murch's time there as unpleasant as they could). Saying UDC is depressing the neighborhood's real estate values is pretty silly, tho. [/quote]
