That's where you would be assuming. The i company is in RI but really none of your concern. You make it sound like I'm a cooperation lol why would I avoid taxes if that's the case I would do a 1032 buy out a block of land in the state pay zero taxes and house non profit business and avoid more taxes but I in no way have that means I'm just a person with a family lol. Your just cynical and finding a way to discourage people for going. Keep the politics to yourself. If you have a problem with how taxes are handled you take it up with your congressmen not families trying to do better for themselves. Just because I have the money doesn't make me rich which is the impression you seem to think.

You are coming here working from home for a company likely out of state and therefore contributing absolutely nothing to our state other than hiking up prices for the people that actually have a stake in where they live. Yeah you'll pay your taxes (with your money I'm sure you'll work on avoiding that too) but do nothing to advance anything here. Yeah we really don't need/want you. At least many of the people in high cost towns actually own businesses here or earned something here.

Reply to Mount Pleasant assistant principal requests donations from staff to student's 'coyote' by trabblepvd
It seems she was trying to be compassionate which, of course, meant a whole bunch of people who don't live there got upset. She should have contacted the authorities and the people who are most upset should have done the same.

Reply to comment by beta_vulgaris in R.I. Democratic Women’s Caucus elects the Rev. Donnie Anderson as chair - “I hope the message is: Trans women are women, and we just want to function like every other woman in society,” Anderson said by trabblepvd
Exactly. She's not only shown up but has volunteered countless hours every year in pushing for legislation and actually organizing folks.
People who actually know her, can testify to that fact. Her gender identity had nothing to do with why she was elected to this position.

Rev. Anderson has been incredibly consistent in fighting for everyone's rights in the time I've known her. She earned this position through hard work and genuine advocacy.

Barrington is kind of where I'm leaning atm. But still doing some research on areas RI isn't the only state I'm looking at but is one of the tops next to MA and CT

Barrington, New Port, and Narragansett are all great places to live. If you want some land and wouldn't mind driving less than a half hour to either Providence or Worcester, Mass. With your budget, you can get a nice house with a lot of land in Cumberland, Lincoln, Smithfield, and North Smithfield. I would say at least 1 1/2 acres + for a new home and probably more land with an older house. Sorry I gave up my real estate license

Reply to comment by sailri in Flashing Yellow School Zone Speed Signs Should be Mandatory Alongside Zone Cameras by BiffBiffkenson
I’m saying city speed limits in generally are 25 unless posted otherwise so by going above that regardless of signage is making a choice to speed. Unless you know you’re in a 30+ you’re just being a reckless driver by choice and deserve a ticket. But you know that and just want carte Blanche to drive like a jerk and somehow get off with no consequence.

I'm not even from NY I just live here. And plenty of people in the DM being rude just because I'm looking to move. Since when is it wrong to want better for my family. But to say RI is over priced when NYC and LA are defacto the most expensive places to live is really odd to keep reiterating. I'm not expecting it to be Ohio. But big reason to move is because education is better. NY education isn't all that good. Even if it is overpriced I should still be able to find something within my budget it's not like I'm being unrealistic. 1.2mil looking for 2/2. Barrington is looking like the option for schooling though

Yea I think between Barrington Warwick and east Greenwich is roughly where I'm looking now. Leaning more Barrington because education which is the reason for the move mostly. Seems to be right in my price range 1.2m range. Traveling and such is no big deal I work from home, and going into Providence isn't too important.
People seem to have a bad impression of NYers moving in for fun and thinking ny is better. But it's not I'm not from here originally, only here because of my wife. So I don't need any of the typical "city life stuff," which I guess is what seems to be others biggest gripe. Just looking to raise my family.

I read something on FB about it being related to a fire at a chicken factory in CT.

Providence and Warren have some great fucking food. Barrington is a wealthy suburb with good schools, East Greenwich is also good but a bit further on the opposite side of providence.

Pretty sure this person is not taking a dig at you but expressing their belief that the state itself is overpriced and overrated. No need for such a wildly personally offensive remark. Though if you’re looking to live the stereotype of NY’ers moving to RI, you’re doing a great job lol

That's just your opinion. 3.5% vacancy of the state says other wise and nothing wrong with me wanting more space for my money for my growing family. So yes it is rude because your just saying your opinion as a fact. Regardless if prices are going up your vacancy in RI is still high relative to others in the north east.

I wasn't rude until you were, I stated a fact that we don't need more people moving here for no other reason than to take advantage of our relatively cheaper real estate especially with no idea of our state.

I will swear until the day I die that Cafe Tempo in Warwick has the best bagels in RI.
They are made fresh daily, tons of variety and they load up because they sell out, they are like the perfect texture of fluff to density ratio, and they’re pretty cheap to buy in bulk
