Reply to comment by March_Latter in Hundreds of housing units coming to East Providence, officials say by GhostOpera406

Exactly. I'm very happy that the incumbent mayor is actually doing _something_ about the severe lack of housing. Is it perfect? No. But he'll do way better of a job than his opponent who is being supported by the local NIMBY group.

If you wander around that area there are a lot more opportunities to go. East Providence could end up with major revenue with very little investment. Helping their city, and preventing tax increases.

Yep. Broadening the tax base by bringing in opportunities like this will spread the cost of city services among more taxpayers, thereby preventing substantial tax increases.
