Not too much tbh.
Best decision of my life was to move out of Rhody after 34 years there.
My taxes are much better, my house much bigger, my life far more affordable, and my politicians actually have a shot of being president some day (here's looking at you, Chafee!)

Grew up in RI. Went to college and worked in Central NY. Have lived and worked in MA since then.
Tough call. I loved all three places. might retire in Rhode Island. But, honestly, I think Massachusetts has its shit together more than the other 2 states.

Dude I just heard that LA had a tornado, fucking LA! They already have earthquakes! Could not imagine living in tornado alley or anything like that but if we were to have a tsunami here or hurricane we would be super fucked.

RI is home, home is RI. That’s all I know, and I love it.

No problem. My dad made a lot of the maps. Let me know they end up being helpful! He's always trying to make their resources better on a tight budget and he'd love feedback.

I don’t know a single person who is calling for more affordable housing that was okay with the stadium being publicly funded.

100% poverty does breed crime. I’m thankful to be in a fortunate lucky spot but this state does have a high rent problem among other things but I’m thinking on the positives. Hopefully these things do get better. For everyone.

I won’t disagree on that, there definitely is. Crime is definitely on a lesser scale here compared to other states, at least I think so. Maybe I’m just seeing things through rose colored glasses.

Yeah like soccer was ever gonna take off in RI. This was a bad idea from the start , glad to see it’s on ice for now.

I can imagine, while yes we do have our crimes and even weird crimes and such, still. Still thankful I live in this state. It’s not perfect but it’s good.

It would be one thing if a seemingly useful project turned into a boondoggle ala The Big Dig, but why is RI cursed with wasting it’s money on projects everyone can see is a bad idea from the jump.

I work in Massachusetts because jobs here don’t pay enough so hey, it’s not all it’s cracked up to be. There’s more than just the wacky crime that goes on elsewhere that I’m thankful for.
