This was going on before Mayor Smiley took office. He's taking the heat from the previous mayors' ignoring the problem. Now it's out of control. Fortunately, I don't live in Providence but close enough to be concerned.
When is McKee going to get involved? It's not Providence - it's statewide. They cluster in Providence but they are all over.
What is the story with the pallet shelters? When are they going to open? They have been delayed once so are these folks going to have someplace to stay? Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there a surplus in the budget? There are some schools that are no longer used and boarded up. Sabitoni is always pushing his gig workers (remembering how obnoxious they were about McCoy). How about those folks doing some volunteer work or are they too uppity? Large companies that are no longer here used to clean up cemeteries, build playgrounds, etc. A school is pretty much indoor work.
Again, as to the budget, the legislature can pony up some money for the bus in Woonsocket. Woonsocket has done their fair share and then some.
Everything is taxed in R.I. They keep raising them and nobody knows until they buy something and then look at the receipt. We are taxed for taxes we've already paid. It's time for the State to share the wealth.
Maybe it is time to give half of the state to Mass. and the other half to Connecticut. This state isn't working.
I wouldn't go anywhere near the Plaza. I avoid going into Providence.
Providence has a few wealthy real estate tycoons who keep buying up buildings. They renovate them but they're for the well to do. I'm sure they are charitable but how much more do they need? Do they ride through the City to examine something else to buy with blinders on? Can't they see the blight, people walking along with their belongings in hand?

But the mayor still wants to kick everyone out of Kennedy Plaza and still takes his marching orders from the real estate scum
