I have this vision of a future where Massachusetts urban planners, trying to mitigate the effects of rising oceans, turn Cambridge and Somerville into a giant wetland covering the delta between the Charles and Mystic River outlets.
This area would be called, of course, the Harvard Marsh.
Harvard itself would remain in its current position, several meters below sea level, surrounded by levees. Because, well, rank hath its privileges.
