So much pearl clutching in that Projo article.. Basically it boils down to rich people not wanting to deal with college students in their neighborhood that contains 2 major universities.

That, and of course the good old HISTORIC CHARACTER®^TM argument

u/cowperthwaite, on the topic of more residential housing, do you know anything about what the end result will be for the property at the end of East St?

It used to be the RI International School (I've seen two different names). It overlooks India Point Park, right at the pedestrian bridge.

Now it's being rehabbed (huge sign says funding by BankRI). Awhile ago, one of the workman told me there'd be 70+ residential units?
