Definitely look at Bristol (there's some nice eye candy in the form of a farmhouse for sale now)- down to earth people, great downtown, gorgeous conservation and coastline. Warren is a very nice town as well, but you won't find land. Bristol-Warren school district is not great for high school and SPED services, but there are good private options. St Andrews and Providence Country Day are wonderful, supportive private schools that offer services for LDs. And do not worry- getting into schools here is thankfully much easier than in NYC!

Barrington has great schools and walkable downtown area- there can be status conscious folks there. Tiverton and Little Compton are farther out, both gorgeous with small villages. On the West Bay, East Greenwich has a wonderful downtown, good schools. Like Barrington, you will run into some snobs. North and South Kingstown have sweet little villages like Wickford and Wakefield. Not sure about the schools in that area now. Rocky Hill is a wonderful private school with good support for LDs in that area.

What’s the dividing line between west and east Greenwich? Yeah seems like it checks most boxes tbh. Hard to see what the downfalls are especially for me given I already live in higher tax area

Is that just a woodsier / slightly further away area? Interesting will look

Why is this getting downvoted? Seems like a reasonable opinion. What are pros and cons vs e Greenwich?

They are post 2015;)

That sounds pretty nice. If you are in the woods probably less trafficked as well and seems very convenient to train access. What specific towns in these areas would you suggest?

Interesting. The hang up with Newport is just getting ourselves right into another joneses situation, lack of directly accessible train routes and smaller lots. Sounds like a fun daily lifestyle though. When we were considering Portsmouth NH (before deciding it was just not convenient enough to NY) it had a similar vibe.

Thanks, have not looked there will check it out. It sounds like E Greenwich / Kingston is generally more accessible by train to the bigger cities which may sway us in that direction though we may give up some benefits of acreage and peacefulness. P.S. your name immediately evoked phantom garlic fart aroma when I read it. Well played.

Is it gonna be you and me forever? Oh oh oh

Youre missing the /s my guy

Cops don't give a shit about "petty" things like that. Worse thing you could have done is reported it to the cops. Now when the driver who got hit goes for retaliation, they are gonna be at the top of the list to get questioned.

Solve your own problems because the cops won't.

From what I've heard from my parents, driving home from a bar. My father is basically the "designated driver" since he refuses to drink alcohol, and cops pulled him over twice in a night. He just showed them his iced coffee and was like "yeah, you had a good shot given how many people just left the bar, but I wasn't it." XD

If I understood my doctor's correct the other person can claim I caused it by driving erratic or some such nonsense I have to look at it again

Mass and RI are self-reporting states I'm not supposed to drive for 6 months after an event

If you have a dash cam clearly showing you not doing anything to cause an accident I’d like to see them pin that on you, unless it’s illegal for you to be driving.

yeah this was probably 6 years ago

Is this recently though? People used to get pulled over for all sorts of stupid shit back in day, but in the last 5-7 I never see or hear about people getting pulled over for anything. Hence the rampant amount off asshole and straight up dangerous drivers on the road.

You can book a spot through colt state park. Tables, picnics, grill, with large open grass area for kids to run around. You can bring anything you want there. There are signs throughout the park and you can also book through town of Bristol parks and recreation

The best way to fix this problem is to make it harder and more expensive to rent.

By raising rents and credit standards that should cause the problem to go away.

As a epileptic if I get in a car accident I won't get out of my car just in case I hit my head and if I heard right no matter what happens in an accident I will / can be held at fault for it due to my condition.

Seriously. Good thing we have so many resources for people that willingly choose to fuck up their lives. This is way better than allocating those resources to people that are actually down on their luck through no fault of their own /s

We were hit and run a couple years go in Portsmouth. I had to nag Portsmouth police to do anything to this guy. At the time of the accident, I had a description of the vehicle and a partial NJ plate number. Their car had some significant front passenger nose.

That night I posted on the Portsmouth FB page looking for dash cam footage. Someone reported that another person posted about a Jeep, same color, with that had been towed from his dead end street with matching damage (radiator damage???). This guy thought it was so weird that he wrote down: the license plate number, description of driver, the name of the tow company, the make, model and license plate number of the car that picked him up and a description of the driver.

I called the police with all that information and was told “we can’t do anything because the guy was already left the scene”. I pushed the issue. Ended up that the car belonged to Enterprise and had been rented out at the time. The driver had reported that HE was hit and run while parallel parked in Boston. Enterprise thought was suspicious since it was significant RIGHT side damage. When the police questioned him, he initially lied and said a friend was driving at the time. He was finally arrested. By the time we got the police report and were able to settle everything with insurance, it was about 4 months.

Sorry to hijack your post, just wanted to share that it seems to be a statewide issue and for drivers to push the issue

Quite a bit, actually

Drive a car that gives them reasonable suspicion that you’re a minority
