This is also how it works in Charlestown. Our Comprehensive Plan anticipates the only growth in jobs and economic activity will be in tourism, services and hospitality (restaurants). We purposely have NO public transportation. The average home costs $600,000+ and is being driven up by vacationing rich people who are paying record prices for waterview homes. We stifle affordable housing - especially rentals - so because the CCA doesn't want to invite "people from Providence" to live in Charlestown. - Will Collette
