Fair enough.

If you feel you have to drive and you’re not going out much, what’s the benefit of being in DC? I haven’t mapped it but I I can’t imagine it would save any time.

Ooh. That’s a square on my bingo card

But there’s still no demand/no one will drive to it/something something Kurt Schilling.

Whoa!! Congrats. I never thought I’d see it. Do you have a Housing Trustfund yet?

Ever since the courts supported loaning yourself campaign money and paying it back with donations losing has become a winning proposition (assuming you have the money to start with).

I came across it this morning as well, Gallery place to Archives and I’m on AT&T. Probably a station issue

Also on the G train this morning, Gallery Place to Archives. Must be a station related outage

Nights in this city are great. No issues with nocturnal recreation for me.

Do you teleport in? If not, I’m assuming you’d have to be outside at some point

100% with you. I find dark evenings cozy, but trying to get up for work when it’s dark out, you might as well just kill me now.

I KNEW there was something I liked about Australia (apart from Wallabies and Paul Hogan).

I relocated in 2nd grade and it wasn’t any better. The other one that threw me was the use of “Lav” for rest room. I spent the first few months of second grade thinking my elementary school had a laboratory.

I’ve told Chuck Schumer to STOP but he’s not listening.

Strong tradition in New England. There’s a guy in Hardwick MA, that’s had a billboard on his property denouncing his neighbor as a thief that’s been up for twenty years as I head it.

Also, Zyrtec didn’t do Jack for me. I’ve been on Allegra for years now and it’s been great. But I would try them all out a month at a time until you find one that works.

Asthma and allergy sufferer here. Moving back to RI after 10 years was murder and it was all sensitivity to tree pollens. Go see allergy and asthma specialists. Don’t lean on your PC.

Dunno. But Geiger counters reacting soil can happen naturally. Hard to say without info

The public housing finance class I took for my masters in urban planning. I’d have to google it to find something shareable

I’ve worked on income-restricted developments in MA and DC, but never in RI, so maybe the system is different. But in those jurisdictions they use the HUD rules, which is what I described above.

As others have said, states do build housing. The real question is “why don’t they build more of it (let alone enough)”. The short answer here is that any not-for-profit housing costs upwards of two or three times what it costs to build for-profit housing. That’s for a variety of factors but mostly because the developments are expected to lose money on the back end so all of the developers have to make their money up front.

And then you have to factor in the costs of on-going maintenance; which, as anyone who’s ever driven on RI roads can attest to, states are uniquely bad at doing.

I don’t know the specifics of this development, but “Affordable” in gov parlance typically is “income restricted” not below market rate. You have to make below a certain amount of money to get one of the affordable units, unusually through a lottery, and then you’re guaranteed the rate you pay will no more than 30% of your income

For someone to propose this instead of loosening building regulations to allow denser building near colleges is a level of stupidity I am at a complete loss to understand

This is unbelievably stupid, even for city politicians.
