This shit pisses me off as a landlord, there's still plenty of money to be made without absolutely fucking every tenant you have. It's a shame when greed wins over self pride.

Good. Try moving to Somalia then. No taxes, no regulations, and all the guns you can eat.

Good God really??! 😳 Are you on the beach? Water views? I thought everywhere in the South had much cheaper COL than here. I figured what'd kill FL is not being able to insure properties

Reply to Best library for toddler by 401RG
Warwick central library is really nice. Has an entire floor for kids. It has a fish tank, a boat, play hut, puzzles, and fidget toys on the walls. They are also open on Sundays which is a bonus.

Yes, Boston's stratospheric rise in rents is the most shocking story.
I lived in Boston. When I moved to RI (decades ago) Boston was as cheaper than NYC as Providence was compared with Boston.
The ratio is way out of whack now. Boston shot up much closer to NYC prices. Value-wise, it's not close to comparable.
Never regretting choosing Providence.

Disgusting. Get control of what ever numbers you think you have. 2000 plus to look at a Taco Bell? People have to live here. Some apartments are still around for 1000 and under for more square footage.

Can we also not hire out lobbyist friends for overblown consulting contracts?

Switch! I got a bill over $1000 in November at $5.89 a gallon. Just got oil delivered at $3.69 a gallon from Kent County Oil.

I mean that's the whole point. It's a jet blue branch that's supposed to service smaller airports.

I am all for all of these initiatives. While $57M isn’t a whole lot in retrospect if it goes towards the public schools in the cities the gap in education will start to narrow and put pressure on the rural public schools to improve to compete with neighboring New England states. Reducing sales tax by 0.15% also is not a lot but it’s a step in the right direction. I don’t know enough about the litter tax in businesses as I do not own my own business. Though I can say as someone that travels often for work RI is one of the cleaner states in the country when it comes to litter. Even our neighbors to the north (check out the area between the highways on 95N/route 3 north of Waltham, it’s literally covered in trash. I often see hawks get hit by cars trying to get it it and it makes me sick. I also support whatever we can do to decrease the cost of energy bills.

And what's crazy is that most of the litter you see scattered around our roads and highways is from poor waste management.
From the city not replacing broken bins, dumpsters with no cover and trash trucks either overfilled or with broken load tarps.

Makes you question a lot of random fees and taxes that just go to the general fund.

I am firmly anti-tax so I will not fault him for reducing taxes (caveat if there are other new taxes so it’s a wash I would complain). I do question why we don’t lower it to compete with Mass. Also it was in the tax law when internet sales began to get taxed the sales tax rate was supposed to go to 6.5% the RI legislation decided not to follow that and struck it from law by passing new legislation to override it.

I left RI and moved to south Florida and a one bedroom here is what that 4 bedroom townhouse is and then some. On top of that, wages here are no where near comparable.
