Living as I do near Westwood, I add the following:
Westwood Village, which _is_ adjacent to campus, is about 50% boarded-up
storefronts. And Rhino is around one mile south not within walking
distance of UCLA or its on-campus or campus-adjacent housing. That
campus population just doesn't shop in the area.
