Work on Dyer and they are just now starting to clean up all the shattered dirtbike plastics that have been laying around all winter. These expendable idiots eat shit all the time at low speed and just ride away, no one cares.
One day someone “important” will get injured and that’s when change will begin.

I really enjoy Caroline’s in Uxbridge but Slater is minutes from my house so I go there despite the limited selection compared to Caroline’s. Slayers drive through is cool though.

Didn't the Dev for the superman building project think affordable housing meant a $2500 studio when asked on camera? I think you and I are the same page here but if the barrier to entry for these buildings is out of reach for most and it influences rental rates of existing buildings causing 50% or more of its occupants income to go towards housing rather than other economy-stimulating things we aren't really getting ahead.
I feel like the city wants to have nice things but cant produce an economy with a job market to sustain it. Rather they are counting on a "If you build it they will come" mentality to allure "better" citizens. To that I say "but we are here, we have seen it already and if history repeats itself we still cannot afford it."

And a 550 foot tower full of $3000+ a month apartments will? At best it will appeal to people of greater means that are thinking about moving here. Hopefully the expansion of Crossroads will compensate at the other extreme end of this issue. Everyone in between can just deal with it or leave.
Great cities are built on the middle class. Either build them up so they can afford the current standard of living or build housing down to suit them. Moonshot projects to entice the affluent just look good in renderings.

It's stupid to build it there. That area is used by the people of the city.
One building will not fix our housing issue. Even if its really, really, really tall.
The only thing that will benefit from this will be this inexperienced developers portfolio.

Can’t wait to live the 5-8 years of hell working next door while they build this thing that no one wants.
Having the tallest stack of expensive apartments sounds way better than local markets, pridefests, beer gardens and concerts for the people. Yay capitalism!

I don’t understand this. As a former motorcyclist, when I lived in Narragansett and rode sport bikes cops used to chase dumb kids all the time. Anything dangerous around the beach was an instant tow, suspension of license and trial. We all knew not to do it.
These gangs most likely started small and could have been managed by the local cops. Now they are large and emboldened and the cops are helpless. It’s just mind boggling
