It was only a matter of time. You can't build the resume he has and not expect him to take advantage of the opportunities that result. Cooley has more than earned this promotion. Best of luck coach...except for twice a year when you play the Friars.

Yea, I have been googling on the phone and switching between screens got me, I shouldn't try and look at numbers until I have a dedicated screen. Sorry for making things more confusing.

Losing sleep over a small hit and run it’s not like the bumper came off or anything I mean if it helps you sleep at night I guess lol I can’t imagine myself going out my way to get someone arrested (even though they wouldn’t) & like I said probably small damage probably a scratch just is crazy to me there’s cameras everywhere if the person felt the need for all that they could get it done themselves just sounds like Karen negative Nancy vibes

A dream job is a dream job until someone comes along and offers you a lot more money to do that job somewhere else.

I think I saw Residential Properties say pre-pandemic out of state people were like 10-15% of buyers. Now it’s 30% which I’m assuming is from Boston, NYC, or tech people that no longer need to be in CA. All of those people make more money than someone in Providence

It’s the right thing to do, you uncivilized dork. Someone was just hit, was probably in shock, and you’re critiquing someone trying to help the situation?

Yeah, he also held a presser during the Knicks pursuit of him and said he was staying at Providence...until a couple of days later when he was gone. Fuck Rick Pitino.

Where are these numbers coming from? I think your 408,424 numberis from here and for 2000. U.S. census numbers for 2017-2020 show total households as 426,769, which would suggest a ~4.5% household growth outpacing pop growth.
> There is actually less housing now by over 20k units. I guess the following question is why or how did that happen?
This is actually surprising to me and I wouldn't have guessed total units actually going down. I guess houses have a natural attrition rate from fires, neglect, plain old neglect, and things like that. If nothing new is built, then supply will naturally decrease.

I think I somewhat answered my own question below. But if the population isn't really growing, we wouldn't have to increase supply. There are less than 50k new people living in RI since 2000. at a household rate of 2.6 people per household according to the census, we would have needed about 20k new houses over 20 years to hold every one of those new households.
Turns out RI lost housing over 20 years. So I guess that's the answer, but the new question is why?
Edi: I might have gotten bad data on units, which leads me back to why an increase in population of less than 5% leads to a cost increase of 50%.

Leading me down the rabbit hole, thanks!
I found that the number of households has gone from 408,424 in 2020 to 414,730 now. So an increase of less than 1%. Since population has increased 4% there is actually a smaller percentage of households to population now.
What I did find that was interesting in census data is that apparently in 2000 there were 447,810 housing units in Rhode Island. As of January there are 426,769.
So I think I have some of my answer. There is actually less housing now by over 20k units. I guess the following question is why or how did that happen?

No hijack at all, it’s insane to see that the police seemingly don’t care about some of these issues.
