Basically ASU is short on housing downtown so they are paying neighborhood apartments to give discounts to freshman.

I find it strange how slow ASU is to build student housing downtown, they have the land and the money Taylor place is the 1st and only dorm built downtown and it was built 10 years ago.
Seems strange to have not built additional dormitories or one of the many student housing companies ASU deals with constantly in Tempe to build something downtown.
