won't even be dealt with or built on for 2 more years?!? That's what Harvard is offering Allston. Crummy.

How much of this is still on the tax rolls and will be removed or has it all been taken off the rolls already?

Harry has that been discussed?

where Harry quotes the Globe article portion that talks about what Harry said.

But seriously, does Harry know what a "graduate student" is?

Enough with these ridiculous complaints. It's a hole in the ground! Let's get it developed!

Isn't it someone who goes to graduate school? Or am I missing a joke here?

Species: graduate student
Typical environment: laboratory, library, tiny studio apartment
Likes to eat: pizza, ramen, or anything free

The male or female graduate student will typically enter a 2-7 year period devoting oneself to the further pursuit of -- and/or complete disillusionment with -- some academic subject.

The typical outcome of this molting process is one of three things: (1) a newly minted PhD or doctorate, (2) a Masters and a quick escape into real life, (3) a quick escape into real life.

Graduate students typically spend most of the day and often the night typing mysterious symbols into their computers, or writing strange hieroglyphics on lab notebooks. They are rewarded by scant bits of professorial praise and sunlight. In the overall ecosystem of the university, graduate students represent a highly trained, cheap and expendable labor source.

I can't figure out what your point is.

But anyone who wants to know who typical residents of the new residence will be should just walk towards the river and see who lives in Soldiers Field Park and One Western Avenue.
