A lot of the housing which was destroyed was occupied by students. The temptation may be to fill the empty space up with apartments, with the notion that a lot more students will be able to live in the same area. I think a lot more thought should be given to the future character of neighborhoods like Forest Lake and Cedar Crest. There are arguably getting to be too many large apartment complexes in town now, and if some imagination was used, ghettoizing the students might be avoided to some extent as well.
