Regardless of the reasons (though I’m curious…) we just know from COMMON SENSE that this will limit the housing supply and put upward pressure on prices… not good… of course it allows the City to avoid dealing directly with the complicated, real issue of… noise pollution. Forcing students to live part continues to ignore the underlying problem across the city… and exacerbate the absurd housing market.

I can connect you to a place that is coming up for rent in about 6 weeks. Interested ? It’s on the east side w 2 br and a home office. Garage plus one driveway spot

Meetings like this get continued all the time, for a myriad of reasons. Assuming it was because of public pressure is a pretty big leap.
The minutes of these sorts of meetings are usually made public. It shouldn’t be too hard to find out what happened.

Check out Samson Realty. They manage rentals for a lot of home owners in Providence: https://www.samsonrealty.com/
If they can't find you one, call up a big rental group like Bilodeau or 02908. But Samson was able to find me a Wayland Square studio in my budget and cheaper than the rest of the city a year ago and they will be honest and point you elsewhere if they can't find it.
However, there are a lot of 2BRs in Fed Hill/West End for 50-60% of your budget.

Start looking now. Med students and residents are already on the prowl and you should see inventory start increasing in the next few weeks.

Choices have been slim. Not sure what else you want me to say.
$1400 each isn't what we want to spend but we're willing to to find something, it isn't that much more than the going prices to where we can't find anything

>2400 students that go to Brown+live off-campus+had spring break.
That is 2,400 students that are directly affected by this proposal. That is not insignificant.
It would be incredible easy to have hearings on this bill at a time when virtually 0 students would be scheduled to be be away.

My thinking was that 40+ Brown Students spoke out in person against the first ordinance meeting. Helen Anthony would have a much easier time passing it if these students were not able to voice their opinions

I think only Brown would be gone but they've also got the most students. Nobody might like the jags from brown, but it's fucked up to hold a hearing on this when they wouldn't be around.

I’m so glad you’re at the health center. We had the norovirus go through our house, and i convinced myself the fever, nausea and cyclic pain were that, and brushed up against sepsis. The antibiotics will make you feel better almost instantly. Good luck, and get a big water jug once you’re well again.

>I appreciate the restroom(s) personally.
What goes on in the restrooms at Providence Place Mall?
Serious question. Is it like Copley Place in Boston where the restrooms are used as a gay cruising spot?
