That picture would make a great jigsaw puzzle

Yes, by now you would have succeded, but your statement earlier about 2012 being profitable after 2007 is misleading. Many people were still selling at a loss back then if they needed to move/divorce/etc and I'm just showing you that the data says otherwise.

I’d bet 75% of those came from people who say shit like USA #1

I know all the smokers in my neighborhood because the front lawns and walkways of their homes are filled with butts.

> Fireball seems to be the nip of choice in NP

Probably because they're cheap AF - I think a 12-pack (yes sold as a pack) is $10

Yes and no. Everything has a digital signature. Incognito isn't really "hidden," nor is a VPN. They all have to report to the FCC.

I've gotten ads for stuff that I was looking at on Amazon, just never a R.I. specific business

😅. In any other state, that is a completely different thing!

rippys?

Maybe your gadgets are better set up to keep your online activity private?

No, If I had the 5% or more for a down payment I would would wait it out and live in a van down by the river before I spent it on a house in RI right now. High Interest rates and inflated home prices don’t mix, something has to give. It’s not just in RI, I watched real estate values spike after 2020 up north as well, people buying property up north, NH, VT and ME sight unseen in some cases. The pandemic unfortunately had people living in the cities thinking about wide open spaces, and man did they buy up property, this has caused value to go up and inventory to go down as well. Inventory in RI is at an all time low, however I’m optimistic that will change. The economy right now is like a train wreck in slow motion, some people are affected more so than others. If you have money, hold on to it as others may not, this will cause a sell off. People who bought homes in the past 3 years paid way over what they should have, they are dealing with a large mortgage payment, one or two monkey wrenches in their life and boom all done. Now times that by thousands.

Same! 😁

Thanks 😊

yea anything that isn't factory sealed is an open container. There's an exception for bringing home an open bottle from a BYOB restaurant if you didn't drink it all but it has to be in the trunk and in a bag.

Really? I've never had before today.

Does anyone have any experience regarding how the income limit is calculated? My wife and I were certainly under the limit last year (just did our taxes), but this year we might end up just over it. I wonder if they measure by paychecks or taxes? Or something else?

Yes it still would be. Drunk drivers aren't going to keep their nips in their car for the 5c.

Massachusetts has better schools generally. The houses are more expensive. Logan has more direct flights but also more traffic. Boston Pops. The Gardner. Harvard and MIT: two power houses. More accessible to Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont. Boston accent. Higher percentage of people with irish ancestry. They have favorite foods but nothing uniquely only theirs. Sports teams are legendary.

Comparing real estate taxes is tricky. If the rate is lower but the price is higher for example. But Massachusetts nickname is “Taxachusetts.”

Average income in Rhode Island’s wealthiest town (W Greenich) in $126k. Average income in Massachusetts wealthiest town (Dover) is $373k.

Rhode Island is a foodie’s heaven and there is the bonus of living closer to the ocean than most areas in Massachusetts. It has Newport. We have the prestige of Brown. Everyplace is expensive but Rhode Island is still generally more affordable than Massachusetts. There’s waterfire. Lower average income. The hospitals in RI don’t measure up to MGH, Dana Farber, Brighham. There is some mafia presemce. The people tend to be unfriendly to outsiders. There are rivalries between towns that carry into the work place in the form of grudges. Rhode Islanders keep grudges forever. Rhode Islanders love Del’s, coffee milk, NY system hot dogs, and pizza strips. Higher percentage of people with italian ancestry.

Both states love Dunkin.

I’m ok with down votes. I lived 20 years in one, 10 years in the other. This was my experience.

It’s indicative of life in Rhode Island for many many people… completely miserable & soul sucking, so a certain percentage will always choose to self-medicate with alcohol.

Beer and a shot after work. It’s Southcost culture.

I don’t know what’s worse: the nips or the countless people I see throwing their cigarette butts out the window of their car

Should be 25 cent deposit on them

Disgusting

Wow zah.

I travel all over for work and it’s the nip of choice in every city, from sea to shining sea.

I hear you. For me, it's about 60/40 like/dislike. I feel like maybe a condo would have better suited me, I'm just so tired of things that need to be fixed. Some people are good at living with things that are not quite right, I am not one of those people. Everywhere I look, I see something that could be better, and it stresses me out.

I spent over a hundred thousand fixing this place when I bought it, and I still spend an amount equal to about half my mortgage every year just on upkeep or maintenance.

Not to mention the hundreds of hours I put in a year doing maintenance myself.

It's definitely a lifestyle choice, and it's not for everyone.
