Last session there was legislation that would create a public developer — as in, the state would have a new body with the power to build a lot of new housing.

So, if you want more housing, keep an eye out and let your reps know you support this. https://www.providencejournal.com/story/news/politics/2022/05/16/ri-housing-crisis-state-could-start-building-its-own-affordable-units-workforce-housing/9779515002/
