Totally awesome, the boom spreads south. I lived there for the wrong 4 years! (I also lived in Champaign right around this area, except I almostalways lived in the dumpy rotting student apartment complexes...Shitty construction but great high-density. I did have the good fortune of living on the 13th floor my first year in the dorms). That BK was such an eyesore, I'm glad its gone.

Campustown has very good density and streetlife on account of it being a college town. The high density also means parking is impossible, which further encourages pedestrian and transit activity. Further, the impossible parking situation makes it that much less attractive to live far away off campus, thus boosting demand for housing near campus, i.e. high density.

Green St. is a great ped-friendly commercial stretch, with lots of bars, restaurants, cafes, etc. Hopefully this is the start of even more ambitious high-density construction along the major thoroughfares like Green St. and Springfield Ave.
