...undeveloped buffer that now separates them from the school. Other residents merely object on the basis of the impact the plans would have on the town’s traffic patterns or environment. They don’t want the development to destroy the small-town nature of Chapel Hill or bring the same kind of sprawl that private developers are stringently prohibited from creating. And finally, there’s an issue of money. As a branch of the state government, Carolina does not have to pay property taxes on the land and buildings it owns. While the town...
...argument most troubling to me is one unique to Chapel Hill and Carolina. Through this development push by Carolina, in the course of one year, town-gown relations between Carolina and Chapel Hill have gone from exemplary to abysmal. When I arrived in Cambridge, I marveled at how poorly Harvard and Cambridge got along.

Such a change means that Carolina’s administrators never have gotten the chance to see the uniqueness of the town and may only see the town as a hindrance to their expansion plans...

The provision was included as a result of secret discussions between top Carolina administrators and the majority leader of the North Carolina Senate, who is also a prominent member of Carolina?...
...great lover of both Chapel Hill and Carolina—as those who have ever been around me during a Carolina basketball game know. Such a lack of respect and marked decline in town-gown relations is particularly upsetting because of the degree to which the greatness of each depends on that of the other. Carolina is a great place to go to school in large part because Chapel Hill is a great place to live, and vice versa. More than a handful of today’s residents of Chapel Hill first came to the town as students...
