Attleboro has more like 300. The Verizon lot and beyond are all commercial properties.

Also it's designed to serve the pawtucket/centrallfalls/Blackstone valley communities which is small. They're also making it a ripta hub so you should see some better bus routes in the area providing easier/better access. I'm sure they did some surveying and determined that they didn't need to provide much parking.

Yeah, that does suck. Read it was the only way they can pass code as a micro unit. We both know it’s catering to a younger crowd. However, 150k to live in downtown Providence isn’t bad.

Since the place is so old, I imagine the hoa is going to be a timebomb for eventual repairs.

I wouldn’t expect a food coop to be cheaper. I would expect to pay Whole Foods prices for more local items and to support a community-owned (vs Amazon-owned) grocery store. I always assumed the customers were just west and south siders because it’s the only option in the neighborhood for those communities.
