Except this isnt on PVD, its on the idiots at the state level who refuse to reform zoning laws or address the housing crisis by building up missing middle housing or transit oriented development around the absolutely barren stations in NK and Warwick. Its on the guys at the state who picked this developer and project. Instead we get these moonshot projects where we go for a 46 story tower built by somebody with zero experience in executing projects of this scale. This is the equivalent of the DOT picking a guy who lays concrete for patios to pave I-95.

Im good with more housing, but this state handles development in such a ludicrously stupid fashion that its no wonder its lagging behind. Whats their solution for TF Green Airport Stations terrible ridership? To spend even more money on giving it an Amtrak link instead of helping or pushing Warwick harder to develop around it. They fucked up Quonset, they dragged their feet with the other I-195 parcels, and now their magnum opus will be somebodys vanity project with a tenuous chance of being built.

This is dumber than Tidewater Landing, which I support, because its desperate.
