Thank you for your response. That makes sense. I still think it would've been an eyesore, but the rich needs to get theirs so the rest of us can fight for scraps. That's just how it is. I wonder if a city somewhere can implement Singapore's drastic model for housing. An experiment, if you will.

More housing across the board is good. Luxury, workforce, affordable. It all makes providence more robust vibrant and affordable. Just build more housing in general in walkable, we’ll-serviced areas.

The only negative would be if affordable buildings were knocked down for luxury buildings to be built in their place. That’s not really happening here though. Providence has so many vacant lots. Let’s turn these lots into housing rather than keeping them empty.
