The only positive I see is that it won't add a ton of traffic. I hate that it's a BS storage place, but imagine if it was a Chick Fil'A.

Are you really asking why money talks? In America?

I thought the point was "Let's make Providence so shitty that people move away. Tada! Lower rents."

I can't get over how it's a Korean BBQ joint named the Dutch word for "tasty".

I lived there for 8 years. Loved it. The parks at the top of the hills, Redwood, Joaquin Miller, & Sibley are incredibly beautiful. And it's 10 degrees warmer than SF.
