Neighborhood Livability Working Group <br />Appendix A: Catalogue of Negative Behaviors and Impacts <br />Introduction: <br /> <br />:HWDNHDVIXQGDPHQWDOULJKWV <br />QHLJKERUKRRGVVKDOOEHHQWLWOHGWRWKHVDIHDQGSHDFHIXOHQMR\PHQWRIWKHLUUHVLGHQFHVDQGWKDWWKHLUSURSHUW\ <br />VKDOOEHUHVSHFWHGWKDWSXEOLFEHKDYLRUVKDOOEHFRQVLVWHQWZLWKWKHVHULJKWV <br /> <br />This paper is written to categorize and explain some of the negative behaviors and impacts of living in proximity <br />to the University of Oregon and LCC where a concentration of young people are living for the first time on their <br />own. Near off-campus neighborhoods such as West University, South University, Fairmount, and Amazon feel most <br />acutely the effects of student residents. <br /> <br />The neighborhoods vary greatly in the intensity of negative incidents. Negative incidents of all kinds are more <br />common and intense in the West University. South University has a mixed demographic and complaints by <br />homeowners about student renters focus on parties, vandalism, and parking. In Fairmount the student population is <br />growing and with it the attendant problems. Amazon has a large and growing population of students. In all <br />neighborhoods there is a mix of underclassmen & graduate students. <br /> <br />Each year there is a large housing transition that reconstitutes the neighborhood with new student neighbors. One <br />of the benefits that students receive by living in an area with long-term residents is a safer and quieter <br />environment. This year the West University Neighborhood (WU) saw a crime wave over the winter break when the <br />majority of residents were not home. <br /> <br /> <br /> 2009 2009 2009 2008 2008 <br />Per <br />Total Capita Density Median <br /> Person Property Behavior crime Crime Population Sq mi Sq Mi.

There were 48 additional of those (33) were in WUN <br />etc., and in general, the noise impacts a large number of neighbors. <br /> <br /> <br />42 <br />Page <br /> <br />
