>PROVIDENCE − A plan for a hulking 1,400-unit, five-story self-storage complex off Branch Avenue received initial approval from the City Plan Commission on Tuesday night, drawing praise for maintaining the brick façade of the building.

>Attorney Joseph Brennan said the site, 50 Branch Ave., was chosen by developer Trunk Space LLC of Quincy, Massachusetts, because of the location. The biggest neighbors are the North Burial Ground, the Dryden Mill strip mall and other businesses. No one lives nearby. The location also means high visibility on Branch Avenue and Route 95.

...

>No one from the public commented on the proposed project.

>Brennan said it was "rare" for no neighbors to show up to a proposed self-storage development, especially since it was the subject of a Providence Journal article before the meeting.

I’m entitled to any return of my investment, like every other person who takes the financial risk to buy a multi family and houses other people.

I’m inclined to think you probably think your education beyond high school should be free, and your water bill should be non existent, and everything should be affordable and millionaires should be criminals.

Am I right?

We actually can’t afford Boston rents anymore and we live on the edge of the city. Neither of us will be working in Boston. We want to be on the east side because the neighborhood looks nice, more trees, but it has to balance out with how much we save on rent in the end.
