Yet by your own admission a lot of crime gets unreported so the crime rate as published is artificially low

Reply to comment by RhodyViaWIClamDigger in Can someone explain what's going on with gas pricing? by hjude_design
There are regularly posts on here from people who are miserable in neighborhoods where they feel like it's loud, dangerous, or just a poor fit. Buying in a city you don't know that varies street-by-street is a massive gamble. The landlord thing seems completely unfounded as you can see what the rent is upon viewing and none of my transplant friends has ever had this amount renegotiated before signing.

Low pay, few companies, big issue with brain drain after graduation (being a young professional was crazy isolating). We even topped the lists of worst cities to date (citing, notably, the poor job prospects for college educated men). Is some of this changing post covid? I assume very slowly.
I'm not sure if you've been here for a while, but going from 1200 2 bedrooms pre-covid to $2500 2 bedrooms with zero quality of life improvements is embarrassing to admit to friends in other states-- it's Providence, not Berlin.

Reply to comment by Low-Medical in Why are they only producing luxury eggs?? by jakejanobs
Thanks, pal. The post was marked "discussion" and thematically about analogies with eggs, so I stuck to that. OP seems to have good intentions, but the tone of this post just felt more divisive than constructive.

The whole state has a problem because it’s a Liberal Democrat State…When will Rhode Islanders become Awake rather then Woke…🤔

Wait, so in this sub do people just downvote stuff they disagree with? I thought downvotes were for low effort posts or posts that don’t contribute to the discussion

I got totally stood up by a stylist my very first time at Flipp, so sadly the Taurus in me could not return. She didn’t even call me to apologize.
I go to Ello Pretty! A little pricey but A+ results.

I think you are seeing an influx of people that just turned 21 and have never been to a bar before.

I'm guessing you never went to school in Providence or with a heavy student body consisting of people from different countries
The bilingual teachers are there usually for Spanish speakers, tell me how many are bilingual in some Asian, Middle Eastern, African language you know those people exist here as well.
Ironically those that were in ESL class didn't do any better than non native English speakers who happen to be in regular classes. Imagine that.

The law on the books probably enforced only when someone cries
Barrington again, any person that doesnt' speak English moving there more than likely will come from money or they would be able to afford to live there. More than likely can hire private tutors. So its not needed law or not.
