AAPI population Providence 6% but honestly since many are scholars connected to Brown RIC PC URI, they might not be voters. I don't think anything nefarious going on here. I am Asian American.

🤦‍♂️

oh right, uh I mean I have been charged properly for my energy usage and should not be checked.

Shhhhh!!

Thank you! I'll look more into them!

Thanks! I'm keeping online as a back up plan.

Thank you for the info!

Thank you! I'll contact them and get more details!

I worked at Wildflour for quite a while, which is owned by the same couple as The Grange. I always had wonderful interactions with them and it was a great work environment. Sad to hear The Grange wasn’t the same experience.

I know they gave everyone a credit for gas and electric two months ago, so you may have just used less gas than the money they've credited.

Ive had an abnormal credit on my gas account last 2 months.

Me too! Nothing like it IMO.

They had the coolest draft beer thing in the city.

It’s shame they didn’t treat their employees with dignity and respect.

I took some beginning ASL classes w the American Sign Language Academy … they were in Pawtucket but I think may be in Cranston now.

It’s a new spot being opened by the people who own The Patio on Main in East Greenwich

Providence public library offers cheap language classes & will probably have at least suggestions for ASL but I don't know if they have Korean

Here’s a thought. Allow on street overnight parking like any normal city. All these sticker and zoning regs just make small landlords pave over their lawns. We had three go the way of concrete this last year - which was what the sticker was supposed to fix but when you allowed the NIMbYs to opt out and never revisit the idea?

You could probably take an ASL class online.

what a fantastic photo. Such a beautiful city.

I would suggest contacting the RI School for the Deaf in Providence to ask them about classes. I'm sure they can give you the information on resources available.

As far as Korean, sorry but I don't have any ideas.

If a landlord is willing to reimburse for the parking permit that isn’t off the books. It’s only $100 per year, but one less expense for the tenant.

The issue with the rentals in the city is that they never had enough parking spaces and for years this wasn’t an issue until the city was strapped and started ticketing people and requiring an overnight parking permit.

Yeah, ouch, but. At 5% interest, $225/month pays off $34,000 in 20 years, not including taxes, maintenance, etc. Probably less than what that parking space actually *costs* if you add up land purchase, construction etc. and compare to what else could be done with the space.

For new construction the zoning ordinance mandates some number of parking spaces per dwelling unit depending on location and size of development. Existing units with no associated parking may continue as such. AFAIK no law addresses whether parking is to be included with rent or optional at a price.

If your lease includes a parking space you are damn well entitled to an alternative when construction or the like interrupts the usual situation.

Apparently Bilodeau thinks $100 year is worth paying to get you to think they really really have your back.

Ouch
