Finally, the Daily editorial board
Finally, the Daily editorial board wakes up to the gentrification of the central campus area, now that the long-unoccupied Olga’s building at State and Washington is set to be replaced with luxury apartments: “The blocks of State Street between East William and East Washington used to represent the apex of student culture. Now, they price out anyone on a student budget.” Of course, by lumping in Starbucks with the blight of “pricey establishments” on State, the Daily misses the point; Starbucks isn’t particularly expensive. The lack of a single decent independent coffeehouse in Ann Arbor is more a symptom of than a contributor to gentrification.
