Not in the Fane plans! that’s the point is getting crowed at as being NIMBY reflexively.

Cross the border to Pawcatuck CT and go to the Pizza Lady. They have the best strips I’ve ever had.

>Decades from now people are going to look back at this plan and be as grateful that it didn’t happen
Why wait? This is easily the best local news I've heard in the 2020s 😅

Everyone, because it means people with lower incomes don't have to compete with as many rich people for modest apartments.

>Love all the people that don't live in the city coming here to call those of us that do live here NIMBYs because we don't want another Ill conceived piece of real estate built in the city that will sit half empty for years til they come begging for a bail out then it becomes dorms like the buildings they put in downtown near waterplace park.
I'm still upset the plan to put the PawSox there fell thru. Beyond the finances it would have been a great place to have concerts and I think it would have helped the PawSox attendance.

It's real. Almost every Italian bakery in the state of RI has them. They're not bad for party/drinkin food for a crowd because they are best at room temperature. The profile is a heavily spiced paste like tomato sauce and a prevailing flavor of olive oil, sometimes with a tiny bit of inferior parmesan cheese on top. If it's a decent bakery, with decent dough and they use good ingredients, they're pretty good, because you can clearly taste the few ingredients present without any delicious melty cheese hiding any imperfections. If its poor, its really really noticiably bland and terrible. That and theres pizza Chips. I can't really explain those, you'd have to see them. Like room temp thin small palm sized disc shaped lightly sauced crisp dough pizza-esq things, usually sold in a cellophane bag.

They're not my favorite but bland tomato sauce pizza is still better than no pizza. I'm still eaten 'em if it's in front of me at a party, would never buy it though. Sometimes they're pretty decent if the prevailing flavor is decent Olive oil.

Exactly. As someone who is currently occupying an "affordable" unit, this is very true. it was a big step down from what I was used to living in. When I had to move (within the same zip code btw), the only units available were significantly more expensive and far less quality than places I had been in for the last 20+ years. Virtually everyone in my neighborhood which has been a "lower" class neighborhood for the past 50 years, are middle class salaried, and in some cases, professional workers. The units are mostly duplexes and developed mill complexes, that are still run down junk, but now they cost more than the luxury apartments and rental single family houses costed like 5 years ago.
