And as stated above, the landlords will factor it into the rent and mark it up further to compensate for the added hassle and expense. Your naivety calls to mind the dipshits who don’t know how tariffs work.

They should start by putting Southcoast Rail on ice(what a stupid project to begin with). That part of the state was Trump’s strongest performer. He won Fall River. I realize there will be massive cuts ahead but start where they asked for it. No need to punish Greater Boston and the people...

And on the issues of character and congestion in Newport, these buckets don’t help either. Cruise ships have been coming here as long as I can remember but they’ve grown significantly in size in recent years.

Not new. Those renderings came out almost a week ago. I can’t imagine being so uninformed as to the existence of the BPDA website to actually pay for that glorified blog.

You should have gone to community meetings, written your city councilor and offered to finance the additional 18 to 38 stories then. Oh wait, lol.

So who among us will be submitting a proposal(besides DZH, Toshler and a maxed out Discover card)?

For starters triple the tolls on the Pell and add them on Mount Hope and 24. Not sure if it’s legal to do so but charge out of state registrations a higher rate while exempting Aquidneck residents. Newport itself should add meters everywhere possible. I parked on Kay Street in 2018 or 19 for...

The point is there was actually a time not that long ago when Thames Street wasn’t the soul-sucking tourist trap it is now. There were a lot of great little galleries and a stretch of fun bars and restaurants geared toward locals, sailors and people who worked around there. The entirety of the...

Have you ever actually been there? You come across as living under a rock and just having an agenda.

I haven’t driven into Newport in season in probably five years and I haven’t parked in a commercial lot or on the street for at least ten. It’s about the overcrowding and the rapidly diminishing character of the town.

Probably not but what they suffer with now is far more than the place can handle and it makes it both a less attractive place to live and to spend time for anyone acquainted with how much better it used to be. It’s one of those places that could be so much nicer if it was a lot harder to get to.

The last thing anyone who actually lives in or visits Newport regularly wants is more day trippers waddling up and down the sidewalks debating between the t-shirt or the refrigerator magnet to commemorate their visit.

BA is all 787-10 next summer … brand new planes. Guess they’re refocusing on local traffic, a good J product and letting the leisure traffic go elsewhere.

Absolutely. And that was extraordinarily tame.

Not sure if it’s ignorance or an agenda but everyone knows Google hotels is notoriously unreliable as it links to a lot of highly questionable third party booking sites.

I’d love to know which three star and above hotels they used to come up with these numbers. I’d move in in a second.

Even this weekend, in tonight and out Monday and only looking at Marriott properties - $216/night for the East Boston Courtyard to $634 for the Ritz with good spots like the W and Copley Westin and Marriott around $400.

Here’s some actual data instead of your cherry-picked peak season/event rates. https://www.hospitalitynet.org/opinion/4120230.html

Good policy. This assistance would only go to people who are working, paying taxes and are sufficiently established to check all the boxes to qualify for financing.
