Reply to comment by Proof-Variation7005 in Fane Tower project in Providence is dead by Ph886
I could be incorrect but from what I’ve seen there have been multiple towers and other luxury buildings opened to high end buyers/tenants that had a very difficult time filling up and with a lot of empty spaces. Building these high end towers might theoretically lower prices down the road a few years-maybe.
The state needs to be creative and make some budgetary changes in order to afford to build housing. The state can’t afford it and people can’t afford their rent. So the only solution I ever see proposed is to build luxury condos. It’s a stretch to say this will benefit the working class and poor

If there is land for luxury condos, that land can be used for other things as well. Supposedly some trickle-down effect from a project like Fane will eventually benefit the people who actually need affordable housing in Providence. I don’t think it benefits the people who need it

Benefit street used to be a poor neighborhood before it became upscale as it is now. This is our city and we should be able to demand and create affordable housing anywhere we want.

Does U.S. Flag Code allow for the flying of the Confederate Flag? If so, can that one be flown upside down?

To me it’s not that weird since I have had an odd, off-putting interaction with her at the bagel shop

I have many SE Asian friends here in Providence over the years and I have not found that at all. Your comment strikes me as deeply ignorant

One problem with these numbers is that many of the instances in the Church have been covered up. In public schools this is not usually the case with the exception of a winning sports coach who they don’t want to fire. The numbers in the Church are likely higher than the reports
