My opinion is we should be shitting out projects of this size whenever and wherever possible and if I hear one more NIMBY dipshit bitch about "neighborhood character" or "keep [x major city] under [x feet]" to hold up any and all development I'm going to blow a gasket.

The amount of pushback on any project in Providence is absurd. Some of the opinions are justified but it’s held back this city for too long.

The NIMBYism in this case is mostly coming from other developers. They want to protect their luxury apartments value by keeping the supply low.

I dunno, I think Mr. Aluminum is just someone who recognizes the scope of the problem and that path to a solution. Demand has far outpaced supply for housing.

Opposing things like this will only work to make housing continue to cost more.
