Rider of the Week Nicole has been riding RIPTA since she was a teen. Between #parking costs and peace of mind, this Downtown #Providence resident prefers to leave driving to the pros. Say hi to Nicole next time you're at Providence Noodle Bar. 🍜 Psst - try the Mala Rose Ragu!

Cities made a bet on millennials — but forgot one key thing Can cities learn to love kids again?

NEW: “The strategy [building homes for millennials who hadn’t had kids yet] worked — until millennials aged out of it. As they now enter their 30s-40s & start having children, they’re ditching cities where the housing stock never caught up to their changing needs.”

Bad strategy. Design for kids.
