Project Idea

This post is a bit late, but here is the project idea for Hannah Jane, Andrew, and Ricky:

We plan to do an overview on the MF-4 zoning decision that will determine whether or not group housing will be furthermore banned in West Campus. This will mean that group residences (i.e. Greek houses, co-ops, and other types of group housing where residents share a kitchen) will no longer allowed to be built in West Campus from here on out. So far, the City Council vote on the decision has been delayed for months. The story has received some coverage in newspapers such as The Daily Texan, but a video project could really put in perspective how important this vote is for the day-to-day lives of students.

We would like to do a comprehensive look at why group housing is important at such a large university and get footage/interviews of residents and their feelings about the MF-4 vote, as well as get the input of those who would like to see group housing banned in order to get the whole story.
