I will say it’s gotten a lot better here now that they put speed bumps, traffic cameras, and speed traps literally everywhere. It was ridiculous like 20 years ago

Too tall I only like triple decker multi families!! Plus it’s so ugly, why doesn’t it look like it was designed in 1926. The birds are gonna fly into it! We need housing projects, maybe a couple of high rises where everyone can stay for free! Not this elitist housing that will be gobbled up by wealthy Russian oligarchs and Saudi princes. And they wanna build it in providence? Not on my watch. The last construction project I supported was completed in 1929. Build it in Worcester!

Not raging at all it is actually endearing it’s weird when everybody is trying to wave you on lol

Yeah

I am black and I agree with what he said

I thought it was funny!

The Chelos in EP has a nice space in the back. Affordable, the food is good, and the staff are great. Very tailored experience, they will help you set up and break it down for you. They are open through pretty much every holiday and should be able to do a morning event

Providence is full of art and culture. the nightlife is great. Very high number of gorgeous women per capita if you’re into gorgeous women. Plenty to get involved in, plenty to do and see, Boston/Newport are close enough to be able to visit for a day without having to live there. We have the best food scene in New England in my humble opinion. Just make sure you own a car. Try to live as close to fox point or federal hill as you can. Upper South side is cool too

Your understanding of basic economic principles is laughably bad, but actually not so funny because I share the same city with you

Yep exactly. That building is reminiscent of a lot of Boston architecture too

Hartford is about as “stagnant backwater” as it gets

YES!!!! Agreed. Thank you! So frustrating these people all have that same “luxury housing” line

The public benefit is that the rich kids who are buying up all the housing downtown and in fox Point can live there and open up housing for poor people it’s not hard to understand

Yay for the 3 story office building that will get put there, or another park full of crazy homeless people!!

Agreed wholeheartedly.

They didn’t string anyone along, they just got hit with a bunch of legal action. It’s been 7 years since proposal, a lot changes

A building just like that one Lol. It would stretch downtown by several blocks and I promise the rest of the jewelry district would have seen revitalization. If you’ve driven through that area then you know it’s mostly parking lots and 1 story box stores

I agree with you man. What a shame. Just a shame it won’t be built.

Luddites and NIMBY’s rejoice

I rode buses every day for 4 years in high school. 2 a day plus a 10 minute walk both ways. Then rode the 66 to URI 4 times a week, 2 buses/20 minute walk. 1.5hrs total each way assuming I don’t miss any buses

RIPTA is OK but anyone who thinks we don’t need to SERIOUSLY overhaul the system has never depended on the buses. It’s nice to have buses when there are no other options. But the shitty drivers, buses running early/late, homeless/crazy people, disgustingly dirty stops/buses (once saw a man urinate into a bottle in the back corner and it spilled everywhere) all make it an unpleasant experience. We need light rail or some kind of fixed car system.

move Kennedy plaza, it’s a huge eye sore downtown. It basically makes downtown into a homeless encampment instead of a city center. Put at least 1 light rail line like how they proposed from Pawtucket through downtown. The park is gross too, it’s too small anyways they should just bulldoze it and rebuild it or sell the land.

Hated them at first but now don’t mind them, as long as they’re not the ugly plastic ones

Those strips aren’t even important they are on/off ramps 😭

8.5 million on bike lanes is kinda crazy tbh. Can we just start a fund to pay for light rail and every time we want to spend money on something idiotic, Bank the money instead

I woulda said nirva, then smiley, the Cuervo. He wasn’t the best but he wasn’t the worst. Why Cuervo didn’t shave his face I will never understand. The guy seemed a little nonchalant
