this is such a shitty narrative, there are over 1400 apartments currently available in providence. included the brand new apartments they literally just built across the street from this area, as well as underused properties in the jewelry district or whatever it’s called now. people deserve available green spaces.

It was always the plan to develop the land that was reclaimed from the highway removal. And much of it actually has been turned into parks! When this area is finished, it will be a very livable, walkable, bikeable urban neighborhood like it was before its destruction for I-195.
