Zillow History of The Northeast

After being denied tenure, Professor Small has one more year to teach at Fred’s University, and he has posted a Freshman Seminar entitled “A Zillow History of the Northeast Coastline.” The course will teach cyber sleuthing, real estate lingo, and envy. In the first term, students will each be assigned a stretch of local coastline and be asked to do an analysis of real estate values in Professor Small’s neighborhood. Using public records, students will identify the homes of highly-paid administrators and poorly-paid maintenance workers, dining room staff and faculty, and map their geographic distribution. Students will find there are many more middle-class and working-class houses along the northeast coastline than there are luxury properties, but because lower-class housing is extremely dense, a few expensive houses often take up more coastline than an entire poorer community. An in-depth study of the outsized home of the Dean of Faculty at Fred’s University will focus on bathroom decor and the trophy room shown in the most recent Zillow interior photos.
