The report estimates that doing away with the second stairwell could cut construction costs by 15 to 25 percent and add about 130,000 new homes on undeveloped small- to mid-sized parcels near public transit in the Greater Boston area.

Anyway the firm that wrote this, @Utile_Design, has a PVD office and has worked for the state (Armory, @195District, etc)

With all the $ being spent on new housing plans and plans of plans, maybe @RIFoundation or Housing Dept could hire them for some advice on RI building code

Spent Saturday afternoon door knocking for @ferri4cranston, excited to help usher in much needed change at city hall! Cranston residents deserve a city that works for everyone

[Robert Ferri for Mayor for Cranston @ferri4cranston]

Excellent day on the doors with 20+ friends and supporters. People in Cranston are ready for a Mayor who cares and listens.

We’ll be out again next weekend and every week until nov 5th. Get on board!

[Housing Matters @Housing360]

A study tracking 13 major hurricanes over a decade revealed that following more intense storms, housing availability decreased, & median rents increased. https://t.co/HsdkfIKEGO

[Joe Shekarchi @JoeShekarchi]

Since I've been @RIHouseofReps Speaker, we've passed almost 50 new housing laws. It's a team effort & I appreciate that my colleagues are partners in tackling RI's housing crisis. Congratulations to my colleague & friend @junespeakman, who was also recognized by @rhodyneighbors.

[Kristina L Brown @kl_brwn]

[Joe Shekarchi @JoeShekarchi]

Very excited to share that next week, I will testify before the U.S. Senate at a Senate Budget Committee hearing at the invitation of @SenWhitehouse to discuss housing unaffordability.

[Dylan Conley @Dylan2DC]

The Fed chair is literally saying restrictive local zoning is driving fed policy, inflation, and the national economy.

NIMBYism has literally broken the national economy.

I believe Rhode Island should become the leader in the solution.

[Kristina L Brown @kl_brwn]

So much energy & passion for housing in the room tonight @rhodyneighbors awards event! It’s an honor to continue working with dedicated leaders @JoeShekarchi @junespeakman @MeghanEKallman and @MSanchezPVD and local advocates @UrbanPVD #NeighborsWelcomeRI #HomesForAll

(1/2) Our next 2024 housing champion is @MeghanEKallman, who represents District 15 (Providence / Pawtucket) and has demonstrated exceptional leadership on housing in the Senate on housing.

[Kristina L Brown @kl_brwn]

Truly embarrassed to be a Cranston tax payer, we need real change @ferri4cranston

[Patrick Anderson @PatrickAnderso_]

Draft re-write of Cranston's long expired Comprehensive Plan is out.

On first look very status quo, as you'd expect.

Sets out goal of *30* new affordable housing units per year citywide
