Providence mayors and city councils historically kept tax rates low for residential homeowners, while pushing extremely high rates on to commercial real estate, including apartment buildings. Mayor Smiley deserves credit for trying to bring more balance to the City's tax scheme.

Kudos to @MariaForCF + @CentralFalls_RI for making this happen! Need to move beyond empty platitudes of "I support affordable housing" but doing next to nothing to address the situation. CF is doing the hard work, step by step, to get affordable/workforce housing built.🏠
