> I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but rent everywhere is never going to get cheaper unless a city becomes a dump. There’s other things that need to be fixed instead.

It may absolutely get more affordable (cheaper, even) if we stop fighting against progress. Too many news articles showing residents against affordable housing, making RIPTA free, complaining about new vehicle and housing incentives, etc.

The only thing here that needs to be fixed is likely education because RI'ers are fucking naïve. Constantly fighting against their best interests.
