My post was about a mechanism that can be used to allow a private developer to build something useful while Harvard retains long-term control of the land. I don't think we should pick up the Radian and put it in Allston. Harvard student housing will be built by Harvard, not a private developer.Harry Mattisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16538583371784475876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11031470.post-74444147049026538722009-04-01T00:57:00.000-04:002009-04-01T00:57:00.000-04:00Um, yeah, why not?

Harvard owns more than 20 acres in the Holton Street Corridor, which is way more than is needed to build 400 units of housing.Harry Mattisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16538583371784475876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11031470.post-56872522867447785762009-03-31T17:44:00.000-04:002009-03-31T17:44:00.000-04:00Wow.
