The middle paragraph is not too far off from my time in the system and that was 2000-2007. For high school we're waving options between her attending my wife's school (if she is there 10 yrs from now), classical, and if all else fails private.

Aftercare wouldn't be an issue. I am fortunate that my job is fully remote (has always been), so she would just stay home with me once school is out.

Wednesdays at Barnaby's downtown. Just got home. Six teams competed tonight!

Very unfortunate! My wife was offered a job at PCTA and she declined it in favor for Davies. She heard a lot of what your saying when she asked around.

Carnevale is a really wonderful school with a fantastic principal and staff.

Thanks for the input. Will have to keep a look out for the meetings. I can't make tonight's due to an emergency. Thank you for the heads up though!

Wednesdays at Pizza J are great.

Malted barley! And McBrides in Wayland sq

actually licking a new york property developer's boot and accommodating his vanity project is progressive

Buy. Don’t rent. PVD has the worst landlord / tenant relations in the country. Landlords in PVD will take one look at your NY address and ‘adjust rent accordingly’ before offering you a lease. It’s not worth it.

Malted barley does team trivia every Monday and Wednesday, I love their pretzels!

Its the law.

It didn't happen back then....which is why they were sued by the Federal Government.

Is Barrington part of the Federal Government? Then its also the law there.

Would it be better if i just went to school here and am originally from chronically impoverished Philadelphia

Please don't come. I'm sure you're nice but we don't need more new yorkers

They don't serve food but Foolproof brewery has it on Thursday nights.

All I said was that this was based on a model and that all models have some flaws. Why can't we entertain some nuance about where these concerns come from? I say this as someone who isn't opposed to luxury housing but pro empathy.

The way to move this city forward is to build bridges with the people who live here, especially on the fringe, not dismiss them with contemptuous tweets suggesting they're simpletons--these are our neighbors. It's honestly appalling to me to see something so dismissive as this post adjacent to posts about turning your heat off in January to stay afloat.

they requested an increase in their ROE, and got it. Its up over 10% now, maybe 11% IIRC. The cost of the actual utilities, gas and electricity, are pass-throughs, PPL does no generation. The only prices they control are via their ROE which they have to request from the PUC every 3-8 years. They're locked in for the next 3 years, but it would have been not unreasonable whatsoever to tell the company to swallow some profit margin to offset current high pass-through prices but the PUC is entirely made up of former NatGrid beancounters so why would they ever do that? They're paying off their own purchase via that 11% profit margin and you bet your ass in 2025 they'll be back asking for 12 or 13.

man why weren't you at the hearing?

Is this something you saw yourself within the past 30-40 years? I can tell you a bunch of elementary schools in Providence that didn't offer ESL for whatever reason but had a high amount of non English non European language speakers. I didnt see it until middle school and high school. You know what the funny thing was , kids thrown in the mix at an early age didn't need it unless they were playing stupid and being lazy, the only ones that needed it were recent arrivals that came in teenage years.

Lets not throw Barrington in the mix, the property values and taxes wouldn't let that happen.

I'm very well versed in multilingual students, as i went to school with more than a handful. But you know ESL here is focused on Spanish speaking students, there are people from Africa, Asia,etc here that have different languages and writing systems that veer way far from who the curriculum is focused on.

Mountain_Bills5743 what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

When I lived over on Smith Hill last year-first half of this year, it was just rodents galore. Rats everywhere then what felt like roaming hordes of squirrels destroying everything.

Same with Irish, Italian, and other newer European groups but its really not spoken on since the numbers of recent ones still are smaller than whats coming from south of the border. The media will shift to that narrative instead of telling it like it is based on location.

Never said it was a bad thing if you read, the part that is bad is when all the ESL resources is for 1 group, not taking into consideration those that don't come from European language speaking countries.

ESL is not new unless you are really young. I get it has to do with demographic but also in doing so it excludes the people with lower number demographics.

Nah I understand and I am fortunate on income. I love this state, but if I'm being honest even many of us with good incomes would tell you that things are starting to spiral out of control here for what you get. So it's cheaper, but disproportionately so for the scale, economy, and social life. Like, the same old city, none of the value that used to be a selling point.

Like, I think we lost our way sometime when gainfully employed people started turning off their heat and calling this living.

Even if 40% of them were locals moving up the ladder, it's still better than nothing. Rental arbitrage opportunities around here are nearly nonexistent, can you substantiate their impact on the local market or otherwise prove that arrangement is an issue? Typically the subletting you see going on around here is student housing that's by the room.

The likelihood that the condo association would be originally constructed to permit short term rentals in a brand new luxury build is very slim.

You cant write off vacancies as they are not an expense. Rental vacancies are marginal in RI, and there is a supply/demand imbalance in the retail market that requires no explanation...

People need to get over it and let growth happen so we can move this city forward.

Dude what?

I work in public education across the state and Johnston is 1000000% the choice Providence is going to take YEARS to turn around, whereas Johnston is consistently decent
