That’s super mean but much nicer than what others have previously said.

I wonder if new leadership checks this sub? We just had a discussion about the liter around the state.
I can’t believe the state was actually taxing small businesses for a service that wasn’t getting completed.

It’s Rhode Island so it must be cheaper to remove them

Thanks, I really like this one and it’s close to my house. Nice to see they have weekend events. A lot of ones are during the week days.

It’s overwhelming, the prices for “basic apartments”. I looked at a nice, relatively clean (stunk like old cigarette smoke) 1 bedroom today in Riverside. By the time you pay all their fees (incl the pet fee of $100, bc I have a dog, trash & recreation fees, utilities, etc…I’m up over $2k. To sign a lease, you have to provide proof that your income is 3x your rent per month. We have a terrible problem in this state; affordable housing is virtually unfound. Try to add a dog, now you’re at their mercy. You want into one of the newer properties like this, good location, completely redone, or one of the beautiful renovated Mills in our state, add another grand to that price. People who live paycheck to paycheck are falling thru the cracks.

At the risk of sounding like a "taxation is theft" type, sales tax and income tax should be 0.0% in every state. That is pure robbery taxing someone on for their work snd what they purchase with what is left for them.

We went to the central library in Cranston for a “storagami story time” today. It was great! Here’s a list of upcoming events in Cranston https://events.cranstonlibrary.org/calendar/events?cid=15394&t=d&d=0000-00-00&cal=15394&audience=4566&inc=0

Thanks for sharing! I’m glad you liked the look. I was a little nervous with the switching to flat plates

We had no issues with their Pvd Pittsburgh flight. We’ll be using it again.

Check out the Exeter Public Library. They used to have story time and the library was geared towards kids. There is also a kids playground behind the library. (Call first, I haven't been there in a while)

as long as rent for decent places is this high; the housing market will NEVER correct

I know people who have lived here and have been happy with it. As others have said, it’s in Middletown, not Newport.

Ironically it's right across the street from where The Station nightclub used to be. Since she was a nurse my mom was out there helping the night the fire happened. I'm lucky I was living in Cali at the time as I almost never missed a Great White show whenever they played there.

This is what happens when we don’t allow any new housing to be built. The state hasn’t had any new high density rentals built in years; they’re all redone buildings like these, or the units arriving in the Superman Building in Providence.
