That seems interesting, and at that point people in Connecticut would be using the commuter rail to commute to Providence, instead of just people using it to get to Boston.

Roger Williams park has lots of beautiful little spots! Prospect Terrace is beautiful as well, especially during a sunset.

It's actually at the same spot the current station is for the commuter rail.

No, just next to it😉

Sherri’s Come Along Inn in West Warwick/Coventry line is every good

Hopkinton is worse

Bus route or the original trolley line?

The Pawtucket stop appears to be in my apartment....that could get a bit annoying. 😁

This is completely valid and understandable. I think my point in commenting here is to show that blanket demands about things like application fees hurt some of people that they aren’t meant to target. Many of my neighbors are in the same boat as me — owner-occupied 2+ family homes with good people who care about our tenants and the neighborhood. There are a lot of corporate investors in the city but there are also a lot of property owners that are not getting rich off our tenants, and are simply trying to find a sustainable way to own property. I cannot afford to own a single family home in the city, I rely on my tenants to help me pay my mortgage and I pay that back with reasonable rents and a safe, clean space. I don’t think it’s too much to ask to have my tenants cover the cost of a background check when we share a living space together.

Theyre trying to push a commuter rail from groton to new london to westerly. I would absolutely LOVE if it extended to Providence. As of now the only option between westerly and Providence is Amtrak and it isn't convenient at all.

Which means by Monday night it’ll be downgraded to half that? Will believe it when i see it (and no school is actually called).

It would work tho

Chepachet 💯

I feel that it is perfectly fair for you to charge an application fee to cover your expenses.

The issue is both slumlords and large commercial landlords alike will take in application fees for potential tenants that they have no intention of renting to. In hot markets they may take in 100 applications or more for a single unit with fees of ~$75 per person (not per application) and pocket a large chunk of change. If you as an individual landlord get charged $35 for a background check a high volume landlord is going to have a much better deal negotiated.

I think allowing actual costs with a limit of how many can be charged the fee on a given unit would be fair to all sides. Costs are covered, no one gets gouged, and no one pays an application fee for an application that's never going to get processed anyway.

Remember the T-shirts someone made, maybe late 80s? I had a rat standing at the wall in O.B. Giving the finger? The caption was oakland beach. Where the debris meets the sea?

West Warwick for sure

😂😂😂

I know of at least one place in providence that rents for less. (It is taken but there must be others)

Yup. Now just the simple task of acquiring miles and miles of consecutive land parcels.

South Fall River

Seen too many trump signs on the way to the beach for me to agree with that…..

I second this!
