The issue of off-campus student housing will go before the Fayette Urban County Council Tuesday.
The Kentucky Kernel reports discussion of proposed regulations for off-campus housing for UK students is planned for 1 p.m.
The regulations being discussed would allow only three non-related students to live in an off-campus house at a time.
If passed, it would also not allow one student residential unit to exist within 180 feet of another student home.

Many of the student rentals are single family homes in neighborhoods that cannot support 4 or 5 or more vehicles per residence. If it were hispanics that were targeted, I'm sure you would all be for the regulations. Why don't you drive down Waller Ave. on trash day and tell us what you see? It's nasty, especially at the beginning and end of the semester when students are moving in or out. Before you start trumpeting their rights, take a look at the nusiance they can create. Plus, students will live just about anywhere meaning there is little incentive for landlords to maintain the properties, because they will have renters regardless of the shape the houses are in. Unless of course it means building a giant, ugly, humpback addition on to a 1000 square foot house. There is more to what the council is doing than just being Big Brother. Think about it. If the students and landlords will not take responsibility it needs to be forced on them.

seems to me to be at least an idea...to limit the obvious hunting ground for all the rapes upon UK students...but hey don't break it up...really keep em all crowded together and teh hunting easy... even if no one agrees with this SOMETHING needs to be done!

Thats just crazy! Is the school or the city paying the rent on these places? If so then thats fine, if not, it isn't any of their business!
