Thanks! And it’s either that or the dome thing above the Panera entrance of the mall

Is that the dome of the statehouse reflected? In any case, lovely pic 👍

I was think cars horn musical while traveling through mineral spring after 2pm on weekday

People are arguing about the methodology, but this is the big takeaway. The salaries here are low and the rents are astronomical (and this is not historically the case here pre-pandemic). Not everyone can work remotely in six figure jobs-- a lot of people work in the state, for the state, or do everyday things to keep the state running. The goal isn't to retrain these people into software engineers because the city still needs janitors, chefs, plumbers, teachers, and nurses to show up in person.

What's weird is conversations on here and in real life either oscillate that Providence is "super cheap" or "unfathomably expensive". I hear both of these things every day and it's hard to believe people in this city are living such different realities based on circumstance.

Providence is going to have some really rough growing pains the next few years that are going to suck for everyone when the working class gets priced out because those people run this city.

This has always been the case. I'd say 2018-ish there was an article about how 1 to 2 bedrooms are within about $100 of each other here. The price wasn't this bad, but the range has always been extremely narrow.

Because the median income is around $130,000. This is compared to 81k for boston and Providence at.....55k lol. According to google, median 1 bedroom in SF is around 3k (again just all google quick results) but salary median being nearly 2.5x compared to here.

I got some beef you can stroganoff

Mare for wining and dining some fine hoes, Providence G for gettin turnt up with some hoes, and blue violet for a laid back chillen sesh with some hoes

I third Dave Clark! Our regular vet is Eastside Vet Clinic and he’s the practicing ortho surgeon they schedule with. He repaired our girl’s ACL in late 2019 and had such good bedside manner with our anxious dog that I kind of wish he had done my surgery, lol.

Palau and Marshall Islands are both their own sovereign nations too so I’m not sure why it mentions those when the top already says US only

I love seeing people comment on how things used to be cheaper.

It’s almost like you want these prices: https://www.thepeoplehistory.com/20sfood.html

Which is fine by me, just don’t get upset if you’re hourly wage is $0.75 and the children are back where they belong, the factories.

Prices will always increase. Every year, every decade.

I'll check it out. Thank you!

Guts!!

Boy..what stupid people. I am from CA and live in RI now...most people in CA are not that stupid.

Fearless fish market

Wait, why is there no data for the Bay Area (CA)?

Seems fine.

Majority of takeout Chinese restaurants will be open, on top of all the Fried Chicken joints like Crown or Royal Fried Chicken, and may be other ethnic restaurants as well.

Am I reading this chart wrong or is it saying median rent for a 1 vs 2 bedroom is only a $50 difference?

important to note also that this is rent compared with household income. our rents are high, but where other cities with high rents have higher paying jobs, our jobs have continued paying low wages.

Lots of them on Atwells. I know for a fact Terra Luna Cafe does hookah during the day. The sushi place Mambo Sushi(?) has hookah as well. A lot of the business do, and it’s very safe there as well.

Pure hockey in warwick uses a sparx machine. Usually thats fine but my skates had some rust from time off and the sharpening didnt go well. Just something to consider if its been awhile for your skates.
