Re: Hotter than Tabasco sauce: the Boston RE market
Fun fact: Harvard owns much more land in Boston than in Cambridge. Its land holdings in Allston alone are almost twice the size of all its land on the north bank of the Charles.

It's a non-argument. Where did MIT start? In Boston. Moved to Cambridge not because they were more forward thinking, Moved so they could have room to expand.
Harvard is a Boston Institution, just happens to reside more in the confines of Cambridge. Take away "Cambridge", and both of those vaunted Universities sit in Boston.
