I literally cannot stand my landlord but they don’t mind pets at all. I’ll DM you. Not sure if they have properties in providence but maybe something will help.

Edit: I have actually had a LARGE aggressive dog before (crossed the rainbow bridge after 13 glorious years of raising hell). I found landlords didn’t mind pit bulls so much as the minded irresponsible dog owners. I would recommend letting any potential landlord know how long the dog would be left unattended, if you have pet sitters, dog walkers, pet insurance, crating, etc. if you make sure they know they don’t need to worry about you, they won’t worry about you. Be proactive! Your bb is a wicked cutie.

If you're asking if that's me, it's not.

Definitely seen it go down in Waterplace Park. Dexter Park too.

...so why did you bring it up? Seems like an unforced error for you to share false information if it's irrelevant to anything you're saying.

I recommend giving craigslist rooms for rent a try

Do you know where it’s mostly art supplies? When I went last year it was just furniture and clothes on the curb but I’m not sure if I was looking in the right areas

Do u just walk in and take stuff

If you’re asking why you should feel bad for fellow humans dying, especially at such young ages... then maybe you’re a psychopath?

i will swear up and down i saw some dude getting a beej in the alleyway across from the then Lupos.

mind you i was also three sheets at the time so i am unreliable in this story

Why would I feel bad for someone suffering the incredibly predictable consequences of their actions? They chose to play a stupid game, they get to enjoy their stupid prize.

And I do feel bad. I feel bad for the person they hit and the poor sap that had to scrape them off the pavement.

You’re really over simplifying the process of registering them. It’s not as simple as tossing on some lights and popping down to the local DMV. They have off road VINs, off road titles, and insurance is difficult to get. It’s possible to do it if you jump through the right hoops, but it’s far from easy and not to mention the bike they were riding is a 2 stroke so there’s EPA stuff potentially to deal with as another barrier. Getting through all the paperwork to do it there’s still the matter of putting on the right parts to make these street legal which is another uphill battle. You’ll need all DOT compliant parts, a wiring harness to connect it all and someway to power everything which these bikes don’t have. There’s no room for a battery and the stator doesn’t generate enough power for lights and it’s not a stable output either amount other issues.

Because I know how liability insurance works. What is or isn't allowed at one specific venue is irrelevant to the topic of discussion.

hahahahahaha wow i love this term u just invented

I'm sure there will be a memorial set up and a bunch of the group they were inevitably involved with claiming that it isn't right and something needs to be done to protect the dirt bike riders.

People typically aren'r riding road legal dirt bikes off road though. It's very much a one or the other type scenario.

Nothing will change until a politician or otherwise upper-class person has something happen to them. That is when the pearl clutching will begin and the cops will be allowed to track them more (though I would guess that chases will still rightfully be a no go).

> That being said, I can see how making a state owned motocross area could have a lot of issues like this come up.

For sure; that will certainly ramp up the severity of both bodily and property damage.

I wonder how close to profitable a private business could be. $1 lease of that land from the state, modest amount of capital investment in track fencing, signage, clubhouse, track building/maintenance. Significant investment in security and insurance. What would someone pay, $40 for a 4-hour session? Then a clubhouse slinging $5 tall boys of Gansett after your session is over (strictly enforced) to pad the profits. It seems almost conceivable, but also, I know nothing.

Correlation isn’t causation. Skateboarding popularity has been on a downward trend since the early 2000s and is pretty much at an all time low. Skateboarding isn’t an issue anymore because almost no one skates anymore.

That’s a good question and I have to believe it depends on where you are, as well as if the land is covered by a local municipality or is state owned (or even federally). I’m sure the state has a lot more leverage for covering themselves than a local municipality does, but as a hiker my understanding is that the local, state or federal government can be sued if you get hurt on their land if your injury is due to their negligence, although I have no idea how that would play out in real life (if a tree falls across the trail and you fall when trying to climb over it who’s fault is it?). That being said, I can see how making a state owned motocross area could have a lot of issues like this come up.

>The insurance state parks carry is for negligent upkeep - a bridge collapsing, a bear that was reported dangerous being allowed to continue hanging in campground ect

This isn’t a thing. General Liability coverage, which covers losses arising out of ordinary negligence, is. The state almost certainly self-insures a large amount of any GL claim.

>It is not because someone might try to sue for getting injured.

If someone is injured and alleges the state’s negligence contributed, GL is absolutely where coverage would like, but again, the state likely pays at least the first million of any claim.

Any municipality that opens a motor cross park will need to supervise it, or they will be sued the first time two kids who have no place on bikes wreck into each other for creating a place for an inherently risky activity where that injury could occur without providing supervision. The duty the owner owes varies based on the risk. It’s one thing to leave a skate park unsupervised, but you don’t see municipal pools unsupervised - this is why.

So now someone needs to buy and develop land, and pay to staff it. And the minute the staff doesn’t kick someone out for acting like a clown and that clown wrecks into someone, they’re going to get sued for negligent supervision.

Glad you literally have no idea how the stuff you’re talking about works.

Why is it hard to feel bad. You don’t have to be shocked to feel bad

It’s hard to feel bad or be shocked when the exact thing you think is going to happen, happens.

There are places all throughout New England where a person can responsibly operate OHVs. Also, several OHVs (like dirt bikes) are capable of being operated on the road with some modifications and possession of a motorcycle license and following the rules of the road.

It's the same as skateboards. You can ride a skateboard most places, but no if you want to do stunts and shit, you should do it in an environment that won't cause other people injury or property damage, like a skatepark.
