In the late 90’s they tried to do this to break up Greek life. Labeling 3 or more unmarried women residing together = a brothel.

It was nice to have Buddy on our side. He knew PVD was run by 25 and younger residents… and the boys on Federal Hill

its really about the rich east siders who don't want pesky college students bothering them

Sounds like a good way to make the housing shortage worse. Big brain idea

Agreed and it isn't even about students cramming into small spaces. I live with 5 other students in a two family and we each have large bedrooms and a huge living room but if the ordinance passes only 3 of us could live in the large apartment. it would be way too much space for 3 people and the rent would be crazy split between 3 instead of 6

Narragansett passed that law, but it was struck down by superior court. I believe it was just because they didn’t go the correct route for it to become an ordinance.

“SOUTH KINGSTOWN — A Superior Court judge has once again struck down a Narragansett town ordinance limiting rentals to three students, dealing yet another blow to the town’s controversial efforts to control the rental housing market.”

I wish I felt the same

Not in providence but close by, The Big Cheese. Amazing place.

If you like bbq chicken pizza, get the Cyclone from Brooklyn Napolitano.

If you like Detroit style, try Hotline Pizza (order thru instagram).

Um you realize they don’t just point at land and poof a building appears? They have to buy land, pay to develop it, build, maintain, etc.

JWU’s economic impact is quite strong. They are tax exempt as a university just as any university across the country is along with all churches, non-profits, etc.

I love when people villainize Rhode Island’s schools though.

Hadestown is a masterpiece

There was an article I think in NY Times about transitioning commercial to residential and how it’s just a disaster.

The Arcade is an interesting example - do people actually live in those? I’ve seen them for sale but they are ridiculously tiny. And not a great example of keeping a building afloat haha

Give how thick Rosa Mia's is and what type of pizza they're making, it really is one that's made for toppings. I like Minerva's for nice plain simple cheese pizza, they are so generous with the cheese, it's amazing

Hotline Pizza on Broadway, or a Guy and His Pie on Mineral Spring in Pawtucket.

Not if he was born in 1874 - he would have been 55 years old.

I’m a retired sound person and there are many spots in the that room that are completely muddled and dead. The system definitely needs work.

If students would rather cram 4 into a 2 bedroom (or even 4 into an 4 bedroom) instead of staying in dorms, that’s hardly exploitative. If the problem is having too many people in a small space, whether they’re students or not really isn’t material.

You’re assuming the local voters realize they’re screwing themselves not college students with this bill.

Boston has had a 4-maximum rule like this since 2008. There was renewed interest in enforcement after an overcrowded apartment burned down and a student died (Binland Lee).

Na it's crazy, not well thought out and will drive the cost of renting up for everyone.
On the other hand I feel that this bill is trying to prevent packing apartments and exploitation of students by landlords. having too many people in a small space is a problem.

A lot of cheese (typically mozzarella mixed with cheddar), tomato sauce, and fried, oil enriched crust is bound to taste somewhat good.

Pizza strips, Greek, grilled, Roman, New Haven, NYC, Twins/Caserta’s, sicilian….. is there a Detroit style in RI? We have one here in Reston and it’s damn good.

I know it’s not “close”, but this is RI! My favorite pizza, not strip, will always be Antonio’s in Cumberland! Their crust is second to none, and since they added a vegan cheese option, I get to feel like a kid again haha

Fucking right kid

Depetrillos has the best pizza strip in the state!!👏🏼👏🏼
