...have been criticized for negotiating directly with each other and not with Charlesview residents in finalizing the land swap. But this was a necessity of the negotiations process: to buy a piece of land, you must work with the land’s owners. Nevertheless, there is ample scope for tenant input in many other aspects of the final deal. In particular, the tenants’ often-expressed concern that a new location could be significantly less convenient must be addressed, perhaps by Harvard’s working with municipal authorities to enhance transportation to the new site.
