Neighborhood-Fit Test for Lincoln Variances Has Narrowed, Board Told

The board's legal counsel told members that, under a state change, the neighborhood-character test for dimensional variances now looks only at the specific relief requested, not the whole project. Members questioned whether that leaves room to consider design, and one speaker said it could affect the board's practice of asking for renderings. The issue is expected to come up again when a previously denied application returns.

Providence Built a Winning Movement to Divest From Israel

The midterm elections saw progressive, pro-Palestine candidates sweep into office across the country on the back of public outrage at Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza. These victories should help reshape the conversation around Israel in Washington, reflecting the shifts in American public opinion against Israel that have acutely developed over the past three years. But that shift can be seen in other ways beyond electoral victories — like the passage of a binding ordinance last Tuesday in Providence, Rhode Island, divesting from Israel and other entities complicit in "ethnic cleansing, apartheid, illegal military occupation, or genocide." The measure, which was listed on the ballot as Question 7, makes Providence the largest US city to divest from Israel and the first to enact a divestment law through popular vote.

Cranston Planners Oppose Grant Avenue Homes, Split on Rockwood Avenue

Owners seeking to build on undersized lots on Grant Avenue head to the Zoning Board of Review with negative Plan Commission recommendations, and a positive recommendation failed on one Rockwood Avenue request. Planning staff had recommended approval, arguing older neighborhoods like Thornton were built on 4,000-square-foot lots. Commissioners said the projects would exceed density on the city's future land use map. A positive recommendation on one Rockwood request failed two to three, and negative recommendations on both Grant Avenue requests passed by voice vote. The Zoning Board makes the final decision.

It takes $70,600 to $93,777 a year to raise a young family in Fall River. The typical household earns $63,800.

Housing in Fall River costs far less than in most of Massachusetts. But add up what a young family can’t do without – healthcare, housing, utilities, child care, groceries, a car and a phone – and the bill comes to far more than most households in the city earn.

Providence Voters Approve Israel Divestment Measure With 75 Percent Support

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND — Providence voters overwhelmingly approved a ballot measure requiring the city to avoid investments connected to countries profiting from what the measure describes as genocide, apartheid, ethnic cleansing or prolonged military occupation, making Providence the second U.S. city to adopt an Israel-divestment policy by popular vote. The measure passed with roughly 75% support, according to The Guardian . Organizers said the campaign was designed to force divestment from companies and financial instruments connected to Israel, including investments they argue contribute to the war in Gaza and the occupation of Palestinian territories. Providence for Palestine began with about 40 volunteers and eventually built a much larger field operation. The coalition collected more than 10,000 signatures, knocked on roughly 17,000 doors, made 18,000 phone calls and said it spoke with tens of thousands of residents before Election Day. ( theguardian.com ) (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Organizers included local chapters of Jewish Voice for Peace, Democratic Socialists of America, the American Federation of Teachers and American Muslims for Palestine. The result follows a similar divestment vote in Somerville, Massachusetts, and comes as public opinion toward Israel’s conduct in Gaza has become more critical. An
