I am near Branch Ave, I should check them out. Do they sell new or used bikes? How are their prices?

Affordable and desirable public housing will push rent prices down, push for landlords to provide more, or both. Expect heavy push back from developers on this bill.

And for buddy deals to contractors all over the state. And for politicians to line their pockets with

After scrolling past 10 advertisements: >no one asked could definitively say why Rhode Islanders call it a bubbler

Neat.

>But there is a plausible theory.

>As you’ve probably gathered from the examples given above, when bubblers, as we know them, came out as a new technology people wanted to distinguish them from the older styles of drinking and water fountains. They had already had drinking/water fountains that they needed a cup to use – these were different. These had water that “bubbled” up and that they could drink directly from them, and they wanted language to describe that experience. And that language made its way into the mainstream, into newspapers like The Providence Journal, and, in this region, it stuck.

So we call them bubblers because that's what people started calling them because that's what they did and then people kept calling them that. But we're not certain.

If money wasn’t an issue I’d move away from here

This sounds somewhat similar to that – the idea isn't to just build ugly block towers to cram poor people into like they did here in the 60s, it's to build modern, appealing living spaces with amenities that are affordable to low-income earners. The example of the building in Maryland that they provided in the article was very encouraging. I hope they stick with that as the goal for this program.

Something that will last a few years after taking daily bike rides to/from work (5 miles daily). I like mountain bikes.

RAB built me a bike from various components and a frame they had! I love it and it’s weird.

If Providence could do public housing similar to Vienna it would be amazing. One can dream.

If you want a TREK brand bike, TREK on Hope street in PVD is good. For other brands, DASH, Legend and Providence Bicycle on Branch Ave are more hyper local shops, all recommended.

Thanks. I'll check them out.

Recycle a Bike has had some gems. I'd check them out first. If you want something brand Dash and Legend Bicycle come to mind. There is also a place in Warren but I forget the name.

FWIW, wapo is actually undercounting them

Your budget is very doable for a 1 bedroom with the exception of the yupster exposed ductwork and brick lofts. I would look around the wayland square, hope st, wickenden st, or college hill area, but also around south water st., and edgewood and even garden city in cranston.

The best thing to do would be to take a few weekdays off work and contact the building owners or property managers by phone and in person. Online applications tend to get lost in the deluge. Samson and Biloudeau (sp) are a few that service the area.

There are a ton of beautiful houses along the lakes in Roger Williams Park. A lakefront, wooded lot along RWP would easily be my pick.

Benefit St or Congdon St.

Surrounding streets like Halsey, Pratt, Prospect would be choice 1b. They’re all beautiful streets that have properties that overlook the city, and are within walking distance to good food and the office

NIMBYs and YIMBYs rejoice together! /s

Seriously though, this could address a huge gap that the market doesn't. Very exciting proposal.

I wish I had an award you give you for this response. This is the only correct answer.

I'm so happy we're getting a harm reduction center!

I love Providence and don't regret moving here.

Nowhere in Providence is worth 4000 a month in rent.

One day we hitched a lift as high as we could go in the Superman Building and got into the boardroom with the big windows. I want that whole floor as my penthouse suite!

I just don’t care and enjoy trolling.

Never met a cop who was interested in 'getting it'. Y'all just want the appearance of having a conversation without having to actually listen or ever change a thing.

Benefit street
