Graham's district includes Adams, Dunster, Leverett and Mather Houses, the freshman Union dorms and Peabody Terrace.
"On Friday I visited Peabody Terrace and the apartments on Irving Street," said Walsh. "I wanted to see how affiliated housing gets exempted from paying taxes and what they will do on December 31 when their agreement expires."
Walsh says those revenues may be too low if Harvard is undercharging its affiliates for housing in Peabody Terrace and similar buildings. The councillor's law practice specializes in real estate litigation.
Harvard Associate Vice President for State and Community Affairs Jacqueline C. O'Neill opposed Walsh's concern over housing prices, however, and said, "Rents are fair at Peabody Terrace. The illusion from the outside that Peabody Terrace should be rented out to our tenants at luxury rates is wrong."
Peabody Terrace is weathered and crumbling now, and Graham has taken on the more diplomatic manner of a 12-year state representative and 18-year Cambridge city councillor.
