...current tenants, and finally to the general public. However, because the houses are offered at speculative prices, they are largely innaccessible to faculty and tenants. Only three of the ten houses sold to date were purchased by faculty members; moreover, one already owns another house and another resold the property almost immediately at a substantial profit...
