The huge problem with Supes has been that the cost of plumbing upgrades needed to make it all apartments. The new development plan and subsides seems to address that without a ton of variances and code exemptions. As far as I know they have started some of the internal work or will be starting shortly.

I agree with the parcel 9 plan needs to change, there needs to be some changes made there but that just ain't it.

It really depends on what you’re looking for. My fiancé and I got a house for 265 in November, but it has work that needs to be done to it. We had to put in a solid month of work painting, hanging drywall (which wasn’t something we had expected to do) and getting floors refinished/replaced before we moved in. There’s definitely stuff out there for a lower price. It just depends on how much work you’re willing to do as well as what you can budget in regards to work after purchase

The choice of "trash level" disarms that comment. Maybe they've gone downhill, but there's no reason to believe so here. I'm guessing they're still the best.

Huntington people know pizza. That spot is expensive for the owners. LV's not going to survive just on blackout-drunk buyers a few nights a week. Last I heard, they weren't just surviving.

I'll give the comment this: people have always gone there after having more than a couple of drinks. There are few things that go so well with after-bar munchies than two awesome slices of LV with cold mozz thrown on top. NYC's Halal Guys would be an example of something else I crave in that kind of situation. Haven Bros rocks for me, too. It's also a fucking treat to see an order of 4 all the way bring joy.

LV has always been hopping well outside of drunk hours. Decades of double-parked cars lapping up boxes to take away the "trash."

To people who want post-party DiRaimo's (assuming it's still around and awesome), I'd say, "Sweet--I'm coming, too." Maybe I'd talk some "trash," but not in some impotent way. Good pizza is not a zero sum game.

Yucking someone's yum is pathetic. Sometimes, it's a special kind of stupid pathetic. On subjective matters, it's hard to be wrong--hard but achievable.

My sole objection to the building was aesthetic.

Want to build luxury housing in Providence? Think it will have a good effect on the economy? Whatever, go ahead--I'm not an economist, so I don't know what effects luxury/non-luxury/other types of housing would have.

But as a human with eyes, who appreciates aesthetic continuity, the building's proposed design was horrific. It did not fit in at all with the city's old-style skyline. It looked like some random film designer from Star Trek dropped a building from one file into another file for a 1900s historical documentary.
