Why so much hate here for AI generated images? The technology is super cool, easy to use, and ends up spitting out unique and pleasing stuff like this. I have art hung in my home that i generated with AI. Not everything these image generators create is a knockoff you know...

Please do not put Cambodians and Guatemalans in the same sentence, 2 different pathways to America. Most of the Cambodians moved to greener pasture in Cranston and further out after working and saving. Some moved out of state. There is only a handful who live in the west end for one reason or another.

That's great to know, thanks so much. Yeah, we're looking for an office / hobby space. Most apartments over here are not built like that, a one-bed gets you a bedroom and combined kitchen/living room and maybe a hallway if you're lucky, ha. I'll look at Pawtucket as well.

>The Warwick Zoning Board of Review approved a special permit earlier this month to turn the complex into a 1,600-unit self-storage space run by U-Haul, along with a retail showroom, truck and equipment rentals and a space for the company to perform maintenance on its vehicle and trucks.

Before the influx of gentrification, the west end was where the majority of its residents were either from Guatemala or Cambodia. Those people aren't able to afford living in the West Side. Same goes for College Hill, that was the East side with a majority Black community, which is no longer the case.

Even if you can afford Boston neighborhoods you'll still have a good choice of two bedroom apartments on the east side you can afford. I would look further up Hope Street and away from Brown for better prices. Even look over the border into Pawtucket; there are some nice tree-lined neighborhoods there. Again though, it depends on what you want to be near.

You probably already know this, but the predominant rental housing type here is two- and three-family homes. Some of them have a room that can't qualify as a bedroom but would hold an office just fine. If that's what you're looking for, don't rule out one-bedrooms if the listings appear to have a high square footage. That might indicate a spare room, no closet.
