It's possible, because the enrollment and staff counts at the university likely aren't impacted by the presence of Schenley Farms (and that's what's driving the development), but why wouldn't the present outcome be a better public policy scenario? The development that would have eviscerated Schenley Farms was directed elsewhere.
