A strong possibility (though I still like to think it's just 'cause they
were dumb enough to go to Stanford ;)
Anyway, there some majors here at MIT (and elsewhere as well) that
might lend themselves to certain political leanings. Every time I
go to my office I pass by the sign for majors of: "Urban Studies and
Planning" a related field to aritechture here. One assignment they
had (I saw some winning models) was to design and plan the "best use"
for some city in Japan.
I mean, after the first few assignments the professor would probably get
tired of my solution: a blank piece of paper saying only "let the property
owners decide." The very question itself: "how would you plan the city?"
is based in a statist premise of property ownership.
