In celebration of National Coming Out Day, Cambridge Mayor Kenneth E. Reeves '72 and City Councillor Katherine L. Triantafillou discussed their experiences as homosexual politicians at the Adams House common room yesterday afternoon.
Reeves introduced discussion on tax-exempt status, saying that properties owned by universities within the city are continuing to grow in number.
Reeves criticized Harvard--as well as MIT and Lesley College--for buying property for questionably educational purposes. Buildings used for educational means are not subject to property taxes.
"We can't go on assuming everything the universities do is for truth and learning. Reeves said. "The conversion of property hurts the businesses in the short run and the homeowners in the long run."
Reeves said he wants the Council formally to discourage universities from purchasing more property.
