You know there are permits and there are signs stating no overnight parking what's the issue you already know the risk.

I remember getting tagged at least 3x in one year on my street and I'm on the outskirts of the city. Sucked having to pay $20 each time but what can you do.

You might also have a new snitch on your street. What part of the city do you live live? Overnight parking enforcement is usually only heavily enforced on the east side. Otherwise it was either a slow night and a cop decided to write a bunch of tickets, or some one called and complained and then the whole neighborhood was tagged. My advice, juat get the tag. It takes about 30min and the office is right on Alens ave.

I want to remind people that the same thing happened last year. There was Senator camping out so they didn’t dare to evict them. This year it was only houseless folks, that why this is happening (also the reason last year was organized to NOT put houseless ppl in a precarious position). Last year, Promises were made, news conferences were called, and the protest ended but the promises didn’t materialize. Out of sight out of mind seems to be the Governor’s approach. Come tonight (Thursday) at 5 for a prayer and demonstration or tomorrow at 8 am to stop the clearing the camp from happening

Buttonwoods Brewery in Cranston has their anniversary this weekend. On Saturday, they have 4 local bands playing! I’ve seen Strip Mall a few times and really love their stuff

I'm not worried about the people who are homeless by choice. I grew up in a Christian cult and when I rebelled I was thrown out at 19. I didn't know how to take a bus or how to do a job interview. I was homeless for a time and housing insecure even longer. I could have benefited from resources being made known to me or being available. I donate to house of codec and to crossroads because I believe in expanding social programs for the housing insecure.
