I'm usually [there] early because I have to meet a tradesperson. I'm constantly ordering cleaning products. The TV breaks down, buy a new TV; install the TV. If the beds get cracks in [them], buy a new bed. The biggest part of his job is the boring stuff.
Rhode Island is becoming a model for housing policy in other states. We've passed more than 60 new housing laws that are having real results. He cited a 70% increase in building permits in 2023, the largest since the Great Recession. He also noted that construction takes time.

The persistent 'flight to quality' creates a profound and escalating challenge for owners of older, non-prime office buildings. As corporates from high-value sectors consolidate into modern, ESG-compliant buildings, the demand for secondary space contracts to smaller local businesses, back-office functions and start-ups - all of which are highly price sensitive and have more options.
This is as egregious an instance of callous corporate indifference to workplace sexual violence that anyone can experience. After two weeks on the job, Doe said that she reported Vichique Maya's conduct to two male supervisors, including Soho House's floor manager and food and beverage director, states the complaint, but neither took any semblance of corrective or investigatory action.

Right now, thanks to a quirk in state law, movie theaters that want to admit kids, serve alcohol, and serve somewhat substantial food - think slices of pizza - have to register as a restaurant. That wouldn't matter except that a city law requires that eateries classified as "restaurants" bring in more than half of their revenue from food.
That is one of several conclusions you're likely to draw after reading an article by Sheila Yasmin Marikar recently published in Air Mail. Marikar takes the reader into the world of small boutique hotels, the sort of establishment that attracts travelers looking for properties with an independent streak and a unique approach to doing business.
