Lived in North Shore MA for 5 years before moving to South County. I’ll never go back. Better beaches, better roads, more affordable (this all relative) housing, taxes. We doubled our home size and lot size, added a garage and paid $40k more than we sold our old house for.

Schools seem excellent where we are. Very rural, but pretty easy access to everything. 15 min to downtown Newport and 20ish minutes to Providence. Honestly can’t beat it.

RI continues to feel like a hidden gem to me.

Breeze would definitely be a win for RI if it works out

I am only interested in the teachings of Christ, not any particular denomination.

Better yet, they empty their car ashtrays onto the local grocery store parking lot.

do you have a specific denomination in mind? "followers of jesus" is a pretty big tent that ranges for mormons to lapsed catholics who'll still go to the occasional holiday or funeral in a church

I would buy, mainly because we just did last week. We plan to refinance if and when the rates lower. My parents bought at a 18% rate in the 70’s so comparatively 6.49% wasn’t as terrible as it could be. Supply is low so it’s definitely a seller’s market but if you have the right timing you have a fighting chance. Good luck!

I am slightly below you I am about 90 Thousand in with this house and most of work done myself

Yup, we didn’t even buy during that time, just refinanced. But not going anywhere now with these rates.

They are allowed for carry on, on planes. TSA approved in a quart size bag. I’m about to go on vacation and it’s clutch to bring them. I am by no means an alcoholic and cannot fathom littering these on the ground.

Also in Barrington. A house in my neighborhood has been on the market for over a month now. The house two houses down sold in 1 day, and around the corner, 1 day as well. All over-asking. Wild.

R.I has better cannabis 🤣🤣

I'm reading a Jodie Picolt that was banned in some places in Florida. It's very clear to me that for this book, it offended holocaust deniers.

Safest is in the trunk because if anything were to happen, a cop is simply less likely to see it if it’s in the trunk. But I believe that as long as it’s sealed in a bag, it’s not considered an open container.

Christian brothers in my neighborhood

Next do facial masks we should ban them too since they get littered.

The Pawtucket/Central Falls station is already incredibly popular. I believe this is due in part because the MBTA is dragging its feet on reconstructing the closed South Attleboro station which has led to many Attleboro/Seekonk-area commuters to use either downtown Attleboro or P/CF stations. The T really needs to fund the South Attleboro station rebuild to relieve future crowding and congestion at P/CF

Well the particular fiasco you are referring to was Norwegian Airlines. Their business model was based on an all 737 max fleet. Then the 737max ban happened and they could not run the route profitably using the fuel thirsty 737-800 series. It wasn't a Rhode Island thing. Anyhow, why not root for Breeze because, if it succeeds, many non-stop routes not currently served will be.

Massachusetts sucks and Rhode Island is the best that's all you need to know

Oh, Agreed - Zillow's data and numbers are guesstimates at best. I don't think Zillow is accurate in specific cases, but I think it is a useful comparison tool to look at overall trends.

Even with that - just looking around town, around my neighborhood, and talking with people - in the past two or three years, I haven't heard of a single house going for under asking price. It's all at asking price, or over. Usually, if the house stays on the market longer, it's at asking price, at least that's what I have seen with my admittedly incomplete information. To be fair, the number of houses sold here is so low, that getting an average selling prices is ... usually an N=2.. so it doesn't mean much.
And lots of houses are never on the open market, they go pocket listings - so you don't really know until 30-60 days after the sale has closed.

So much fireball

Am I the only drunk out here that has the decency to throw empties in the trash??

I didn’t even know this was a real place

Thank you!

Prefer more rural. Don't like living in the city.

These smaller-scale airlines always pop up in Rhode Island and immediately leave a year later. Remember when you could take a flight from TF Green to Iceland? That lasted for a whole year or two...
