Only been in RI 13 years and this project confused me. It looked like it’d be the biggest building in an area that couldn’t support the traffic. The premise made sense, and affordable housing is super needed, and not just in areas that also require people have cars to get around.

Residential buildings with limited parking actually don’t generate that much traffic. 200 parking spots may only yield 20 cars coming and going at any given hour, especially in a center city environment and with remote work.

Oh I didn’t realize how little parking was planned. Good to know.

Well said. The constant perception of fiction vs reality. People are always so negative towards development. Reality is it ever as bad as most want to believe.
