The wink wink benefit of how much you claim on taxes might benefit specific service sectors more than others but you can still pull the wink wink regardless a benefit that a 40 hour on the book worker doesn't have. See below

Server lets say grosses 40-60K in cash tips per year they probably will under report a little

Stripper lets say grosses 90-100K in cash tips per year you would be stupid not to under report.

Reply to What’s happening with Urban Greens Coop? by theovertalker

This place is having the worst identity crisis ever. Do you want to be a community market catering to the low income residents in the neighborhood, or are you trying to be a gourmet market with 20 different kinds of oat milk? Which is it?

>"WARWICK — Natural gas rates in Rhode Island are set to go up Nov. 1, but the increase won’t be as big as originally expected.

>State regulators on Friday approved a request from Rhode Island Energy to raise rates for the heating fuel that will see the annual bill for a typical customer that uses 845 therms go up by $89, or 9.6 percent. That’s well below the 15 percent increase the state’s sole gas supplier proposed in its initial filing with the Public Utilities Commission last month."

So I did some research and found quite a bit of apartment under $1,500 in Providence - even pretty close to downtown. Is there any catch here? For comparison apartments in downtown Boston would probably rent out for at least $3,000.

Can you clarify please? and can you also point to the better areas of PVD/mark on the map areas to avoid?
