People suck. I'd feel fine prohibiting people from using private property as a public park. Np joggers, no dogs, no jumpy castles, no pot smoking drunken sex, etc...

Mist legit dog parks require you to pick up after your dog & provide bags/containers to do so. To call a piece of wasteland a "dog park" does not make it one!
And everybody should pick up after their dogs, every time, everywhere! Oe else, here come the "No Dogs Allowed" signs, these slobs ruin it for everyone!

I'm not sure I see how walking my dog on your lawn is disrespectful.... Okay so It's private property and so I guess you can bring out yer shot guns to protect yer land. Give me a break. The college is a community institution. I think the President of the college has it right when he said, it's an evolving community. So what If white people are moving in. That means that those white people don't mind living with black people. They choose to live next to a "black" college. If poop is a problem, higher somebody to patrol and give out citations to assholes who don't pick up after their dog. And BTW those are just inconsiderate jerks. And in my experience it's my people that usually don't pick up the pop (Mexican) not white. Neither side of this fence has the right to tell the others to move our get out. It's seems like a really petty issue that can easily be worked out.

On first look it looks and feels like a case of gentrification indifference. White privilege being pushed upon the University. Many prt oenrrs should not be pet owners, they do not clean up after their pets and ends up destroying a public area

I think Howard Alumni should buy up the property around the University. I don't think the white neighbors give a poop whether the University is historically black or not. They are just inconsiderate about their dog poop. Not cleaning up dog poop is not a white privilege or entitlement issue. Being inconsiderate is universal. Rich people are generally inconsiderate of poorer people, it's not exclusive to caucasians.

My first reaction is that it's a bit like when people move next to a pub and then put in noise complaints. The university was there first. Find somewhere else to walk your damned dog. And make sure you pick up it's shit, ya grot bag.

...I don’t think it should be ‘he or he’ or ‘they or he,’” situation, he continued. “It’s our community and that’s how it should be.”

Fuck me. That's my instant reaction. My second reaction is that people are all the same, and if minority rolls were reversed itd be a traditionally white colledge having the same issues with gentrification.

Pretty much why I can't stand people, in general.
