Saying PVD is cheap relative to those cities is like saying a car is affordable relative to a lambo, high end tesla, and Land rover. Those cities you listed are all world class cities which are well known world wide as destinations for their job opportunities, natural wonders, etc.

I love it here, but I've lived in several places that are similar Town and Gowns and none of them are on the world stage either or economic powerhouses, but they are still significantly cheaper these days.

I haven't heard of anywhere that serves them but you can buy them to steam/boil yourself at Bayon Market in Providence. You may get lucky in Lowell, MA at finding a place that serves them.

People on here have no sense of reality outside of RI. Only Rhode Island has bad drivers, rising rents, bikes vs cars arguments, etc.

We have empty plots of land in the city that people are fighting against development - including housing - because it may alter the skyline…like we have the f-ing Eiffel Tower or Washington Monument to showcase.

Pvd is still cheap compared to Boston, which I believe has surpassed DC and only behind NYC, LA, SF and Honolulu. I lived in DC, NYC and SF - I would never be able to buy something I actually wanted. I moved to PVD and bought an awesome place that would be at least 3x as expensive in those markets.
