My take... Blame UVU...
When you have large apartment complexes that have both UVU and BYU students... It's almost impossible to keep EVERYBODY living the same standards.
For the past few years 'Approved BYU housing hasn't meant anything" outside the dorms.

BYU just ended the approve housing requirement after your freshman year.

It will be interesting to see how this changes things.

If so then more demand for living closer to campus so they don’t have to deal

Maybe someone will bulldoze the Riviera and put up a high rise parking garage

Its insane the number of students who live 2 blocks away and still drive now

25% of BYU students don't even own a car. Even so I don't disagree

I "heard" that the new music building had the choice of underground parking.

Do you consider the parking at the LSB to be underground?

That should hopefully drop housing prices in Provo

Rents are higher in Orem than in Provo, but the complexes are newer and nicer

It restricted the area to a certain geography. This will open up new options

A much needed change. Hopefully this improves quality and cost of housing.

That's going to be rough for the landlord's families who rely on the artificial increase in demand on approved homes.

Moving forward. BYU-contracted off-campus housing (i.e. "BYU approved" housing)

yeah. your freshman year will be BYU only. but afterwards you can live wherever

Freshman year - BYU approved and limited to only BYU students. After that - everything is open.

How could they? This will make life much easier for landlords now

BYU is basically ASU now. Couple of party schools with no rules. Sad, really.

While technically true, I never knew of any landlord that put any effort into enforcing the HC.
