Reply to comment by Bobisadrummer in Providence man sentenced to 40 years for shooting a police officer by Meatball_Grinder
I think you missed the point so I'll say it as simply as possible: The cops not being in uniform is not a mitigating factor in this man's attempted murder so it isn't really interesting how the article leaves out in irrelevant detail that changes absolutely nothing.

Citation? Word of mouth? Anything?

Agreed, so like what's your plan man?

This design is flawless. It fits in with the soulless incubator garbage across the river. The time it takes to construct the building will improve traffic and city ambience. 5 stars.

I remember all the protests of, "Fane, Fane Go Away." I like the irony of him coming back another day.

How much would impact Providence then?

You mean to tell me that local news media and journalist, who frequently publish police press releases and pass them off as articles with out any further research, don’t tell the whole story? No way! Then again, you’re the person who tried to tell me, someone who’s in ems, how to drive an ambulance… Seems you have a habit of trying to comment on things you know nothing about. You should fix that.

that’s a very long reply to begin with an incorrect first sentence.

Whoa, that's not bad. Think you can do some ed consulting too?

Side note, you have to hold your phone with the QR code for your fare lower than you'd think for the scanner to pick it up. I struggled with that a bit the first time I rode

Please no. As much of the rest of the country is waking up to the benefits of "strong towns" and "new urbanism" and "liveable cities", we're going to build a huge standalone structure completely out of human scale? I sure hope not.

500 units? Less than a rice kernel.

This isn't one rice kernel. It's 500 apartments. It's also not the only higher density project of its kind.
You can't accuse other people of being overly simplistic and then say some bullshit like that.

I only skimmed a couple of extemporaneous articles about it but I'm not seeing anything saying they weren't in a uniform and the guy who on bail for an illegal gun charge who pulls out another gun and shoots at non-cops maybe doesn't need anyone caping for them?

Exactly, which is why much more than this is needed. Density needs to be legalized everywhere, we can’t just build one apartment block and expect it to fix anything

With either design I just want some color added.

Increasing the housing supply is a necessity at this point. Hell, I’d prefer commie blocks to the current hellscape of homelessness and unaffordable rents

Nice to look at things in such simplistic terms. U need to sell a lot of rice to Impact cost. One rice kernel doesn't change shit.

“There’s a housing shortage and we need more” -builds more housing- “No not like that, it’s UGLY!!!1!”

It's trivial to replace the window. More creative approaches are more difficult to fix.

If you were being targeted by a gang and a couple of guys hop out of their car with guns, what would you do?
