Officially signed into law! What a treat to have my townhomes bill (shoutout to @neighborswelcomeri.bsky.social ) and my land bank bill (shoutout to ReclaimRI) signed into law today. It takes a village, truly. And we won’t stop until every Rhode Islander has a safe and affordable place to call home❣️

Beautiful evening w/ @parkingreform.org! We learned a lot about what is possible when the high costs of excess parking are considered. Parking reform is not only an important piece of the housing puzzle– taking a closer look can improve climate outcomes, and support transportation initiatives.
