...would have quickly come to the realization that it was the same road, wherever he went. This brings us to the question of travel, or the “myth of mobility,” as Fox and Brouws would have it: the alluring prospect of mobility the American Dream promotes is not necessarily upward mobility.

Because of its central location in the projected Allston campus, the purchase is a critical and exciting step for Harvard. As part of the exchange, Harvard will build brand new replacement housing units on a nearby parcel of land, a prospect about which many residents currently seem pleased. We are aware, however, that the negotiation process was not always smooth, particularly in its early days. Harvard’s final deal with Charlesview shows that Harvard has improved considerably in working with an awareness of the needs of the Charlesview residents and the Allston community...
