Doubt that will work, since the post says “one ticket is for…”. I’m guessing they have multiple tickets, so it’s tough to claim it’s their first rodeo.

Lmfaoo nah u gotta show up when they tell you. You ain't that special so you can't decide when the court gonna work for you

There are court lists. You can’t just show up whenever. If you want to pay it early then you can go in and do that. If there’s extenuating circumstances you can call and see if you can move your date, they may let you. Just showing up is no good, though.

Having done this successfully, I’d just call the main line for Providence municipal court (or traffic court, whichever one the summons tells you to go to) and request a continuance to whatever date works for you. It’s basically a guaranteed yes.

Correct

Caveat, that I have not been since Covid, but for a parking ticket it used to be that you could show up on an earlier date and be heard. Makes no difference for the type of parking ticket - they never have the person who issued the ticket present anyway.

This does not hold true for other offenses heard in municipal court.

You could write them a letter and tell them you’re really sorry and your grandma fell and you had no choice but to park and run inside to help. Usually they let you off if it’s your first rodeo.

I don’t think you get to show up whenever you feel like. Generally not how courts work. You show up when they tell you to.

According to the actual Zumper report, it points out that part of the reason Boston usurped San Fransico is because of seasonal flows due to high density of college students. I’m curious how much of that seasonal flow could also be used to explain the same situation in PVD.

I'd be down. There was a buzz when r/providencegirls was created a month or two ago, but nothing has really happened in terms of events. I'm 35 and love a bit out of the city but I love making excuses to come down for a visit:)

I hope you’re doing better btw ❤️❤️

Girl, where?

It’s a relative thing, of course.

Yes, but the salaries, amenities, and public transit pale in comparison. Providence is a very different type of city: medium, town and gown.

Work in a specialized in person field? Maybe one employer in the state or you commute an hour each way. Good luck if you want to switch jobs (but this problem doesn't exist in NYC or LA).

If my car gets totaled in yet another accident, I'm stuck navigating an inflated car market and inflated insurance just to get by (especially if you have that far away job).

I love it here and I relocated here a long time ago, but my friends in NYC, Boston, and LA have much higher salaries and career advancement is seamless.Providence feels like a choice you make over your career, at times. It used to be in part because it was an affordable place to settle down.

Providence is similar to a lot of small cities outside of the East Coast, but at 4x the cost. Many couples suffer the two body problem here, especially if both want to work locally and aren't in ed/law/medicine/academia.

Is there a guide to the different zoning designations.

Philly is a county! We all call it a city but I reality it’s a county. It massive 143 square miles. For perspective RI is 1214 square miles. And there are blocks upon blocks in the north, west and south west that most people would never go to or drive through. It has also been losing population since the beginning of the 20th century. You just can’t compare it to anything on the east coast besides Baltimore.

If you do, check out the ebike rebate program to see if it’s eligible: https://drive.ri.gov/erika-niedowski-memorial-electric-bicycle-rebate-program

To add on to your point, you could combine Pawtucket, CF, north providence, and providence and still only be at 35 sq miles.

This isn't commercial work. Totally different realms.

>I do miss gated complexes and parking garages though.

I almost chortled at that -- where the city sprawls over 300+ square miles like Dallas, yes but there's no city anywhere in the Northeast where you'd see this.

Closest would be an apt. building with a concierge and private parking garage, which you can find for a price here.

25 year old also in Providence, would love to join in! I love 7 stars.

I and others are familiar staying in toxic relationships simply because it is affordable.

This also only looks at one bedrooms. This typically = apartment buildings. Apartment buildings in PVD are mostly downtown with a smattering of small ones on the East Side in Wayland Sq and a few of the loft buildings around PVD. There’s one bedrooms here or there within multi families, but it’s not a high quantity.

That’s a very fair point and I agree.

I still think regardless of land mass, Providence has gotten really expensive. I also think within the city limits, providence has a very wide range of economic conditions. One would think some of the less desirable areas would decrease the overall average rent.
