Not sure what your point is. This seems like a great way to create another housing option. It is an alternative for those who can't afford the studios or 1BRs (which, BTW, would be a bargain anywhere close to $900). You can call it (pejoratively) gentrification, but, due simply to demand and not enough houses, there is certainly housing that is not luxe that is quite pricey as well.

$900 for a 1-bdrm in Providence (not between Main St. & Gano) is ...ludicrously expensive historically speaking. Part of that is RI salaries being terrible, and another is that to get a cheaper place you have to live in the shootier neighborhoods on the Westside. And-I am not complaining about the gentrification; far better a condo in that bldg. than a new McMansion on a greenfield site. I just think the legislation is barely worth the effort.
