My neighborhooddddd

I would recommend Pawtucket/EP over Providence.

Both are just as close to the highway and you’ll probably get more space for the same if not less rent, plus you’d likely have 1-2 designated parking spaces.

Come to Warwick! I’ve lived in providence all my life but bought my first home in Warwick 2 years ago and we love it ! We get the same convenience but with a more community feel.

IIRC, it used to be a member-only benefit but they opened it up to the general public a few months back.

Barrington and East Greenwich are nice and safe not too far of a commute to Providence

I have a friend that has a house in riverside right on the water. Such a nice and underrated area in my opinion 👌

Edgewood/Pawtuxet Village is pretty nice. It’s on the outskirts of the city (technically part of it is in Cranston). We love it here and haven’t had any issues with safety. I feel confident walking by myself as a young female and we haven’t dealt with porch pirates. Purchasing is expensive af right now but rentals are definitely in your price range.

It's amazing how well this analysis works.

While technically you may be right, his priority has been business first, and businesses don't like this. It appears this may have been his first thought when asked about bikes which is a worrying sign for our accessible infrastructure and green energy goals.

Attleboro is the way to go for the commuter rail. Get there after 8 and you'll be parking in Guam though.

I've been doing the RI - Boston commute for a decade now, and while it can be a pain there are a ton of better and higher paying jobs in Boston, at least in my field, but on the Boston salary I can live the good life in RI.

Where does he even call it a priority, much less one of his top ones? That isn’t what the piece or the quotes say at all.

I suggest you email your local council person, follow the Providence planning social media (there was an event just like this the other week starring a Lego artist), as well as look at the cities upcoming meeting agendas.

What meetings?

Leave providence if you can. We rented at the lofts at Pocasset (providence/Johnston / Cranston ) line and loved it. We paid about $1650 for 2 beds in 2019. Extremely safe area

I lived in Grant Mill for two years and can recommend it. Bit noisy, but that's that whole neighborhood in general. There is a parking lot and you can request guest passes as needed.

Huh? It was one of his top priorities. It was such a specific, targeted topic, it's so clear he has a grudge. I think that thinking he means anything other than eliminating it requires a divorce from reality.

Come to the many meetings around transportation, accessible infrastructure, and urban planning in the city. These are often held by the city itself and elected officials from lawmakers to individual council members. Do let them know cars are the best way forward, perhaps if they have the patience, they'll explain to you why you're behind.

Recommend me the people you have talked to, I’d love to talk to them.

Lol, there’s a reason I specified the word charter.

I think using the phrase “first priority” requires willful divorce from reality.

Saw this Sunday afternoon. I just went by the right signal, since I figured the left one had been turned by the wind. PLUS the traffic from the left side of the intersection kept going through the intersection,😆

In addition to what everyone else has said:

1. There is only a small proximity around South Station or Back Bay where you’d want to look for a job. Any further and you’re looking at another 20-30+ mins on bus or train in Boston.

2. The night schedule really sucks. They reduced the schedule during COVID and have yet to really add anything back in. Only one train an hour goes all the way to Providence, and if you miss the 9:40pm you’re stuck in the city.

3. There could be a ton of traffic driving Johnston to a closer to Boston commuter rail stop, I know people do it but not sure how much it helps you time wise.

Also, you seem like a lunatic. We are having a discussion about bike lanes and you bring up marriage equality and trump?
