We're not going to be happy until every house is owned and managed by the Providence Housing Authority. Universal Section 8 Housing!

Unless you rent for half the market rate you're not one of the good guys. We're coming for you next.

Bad landlords are bad businessmen. These older units are rented at below market rate and are occupied by lower income families. To fetch the highest ROIs each unit should be modernized with granite countertops, satin paints, brazilian hardwood, and stainless steel appliances. This will take a couple months of construction but at the end of the day the lower income families will be replaced by young progressive professionals which leads to higher property taxes and more funding for homeless services.

Reply to City approves 5-story College Hill apartments despite complaints about noisy students by cowperthwaite
Hear me out, say NO to new housing. Springfield, Brockton, and Lawrence, MA has zero new developments outside of affordable housing projects and their rents are the cheapest in the state. Meanwhile Boston has been cranking out thousands of luxury units every single year and their rents have been increasing nearly 10% YOY.

RIP. These organizations need to be held liable. There should be signs everywhere to discourage zone 5 / vo2max running for anyone who took the mrna jabs.

I like them but their board meetings are a train wreck of DIE (diversity, inclusion, equity) virtue signaling. BlackRock funded multi-national companies can afford to play these games but small businesses need to be ruthless with their revenue and expenses.

Looks like pretty tight quarters. I hope these drags have had their quarterly boosters.

I've seen this play out over the last decade in the neighborhoods west of Dexter Park but with a happy ending. The south asian households tended to take pride in their surroundings which made progressive upper middle class white people feel safe enough to become their neighbors. Once a demographic tipping point was reached the south asian households started getting above market offers for their homes which they couldn't resist. Smith Hill largely went in the opposite direction with the Providence Housing Authority buying up homes for pennies on the dollar during the last recession and landlords renting to section 8 criminals instead of market rate working people.

Why doesn't this person get the FREE bivalent booster? I only attend events that require proof of all 6 shots.

I'd rather the money go to Ukraine. The last thing a 40 year old fentanyl junkie ex-con wants is to pay bills.

Show up in front of Home Depot at 5 AM. If you can speak english you will be 1st string. Don't blow your reputation by being lazy or you will have to move to another HD. Don't accept anything less than $200/day even when the illegal next to you will work @ $120.

There's only so much we can extract from the middle class. Our first priorities are Ukraine, undocumented immigrants, and electric vehicles. Not universal health care, gas/heat, or inflation. The midterm elections confirm this.

Reply to comment by jt_tesla in Providence approves initial plans for 5-story, 1,400-unit self-storage complex by cowperthwaite
The demand is skyrocketing. The developers aren't investing millions of dollars because they love the storage business. There's no profit in housing anymore unless you build one of those Boston style luxury towers for the beautiful people.
