Ok, what you need to understand is that while you can probably find an apartment in Providence in your price range, you cannot get what you are looking for in your price range. And you really don't have the luxury of being choosy.

Newer/modern is definitely not happening. You'll need to accept that. Newer/modern is mostly downtown, typically $3k+, and generally not dog friendly.

With that reality out of the way, I'll also mention that you are going to find it difficult to find any place that allows dogs.

That said, the best areas in Providence for someone with a dog are on the East Side (not the Mount Hope neighborhood). The Wayland Square area would probably be optimal. In your price range, if you can find something, it will likely be small and outdated.

I'm not expecting anywhere to be crime free.

When people get upset about a crime being posted, and they try to brush it under the rug, that's an attempt to normalize it.

It's 2023, and the year hasn't started out well in terms of violent crime in Providence.

>Almost 200,000 people live in the city. Four notable acts of violence this weekend.

It's disappointing and disturbing that you (and several others on here) go out of your way to try to normalize the violent crime in Providence.

>Newsflash: violence in the city. Better get scared.

That's some tough talk coming from a guy living in Warren.

If you read the article, all you need to do is eat some apples to even things out.

>I feel powerless, like I can't protect them. This has been very heavy on my mind and shoulders.

The only reason your wife and cat would be in danger is because of your actions. Stop getting aggressive with your neighbor.

>Providence hasn’t been safe for years

It depends where you live.

Honestly, it doesn't sound like you're in a position to move. Your budget is low for the current market, it sounds like your credit score isn't great, and you're going to fuck up your future by breaking the lease.

I understand that the situation sucks, but you're not doing yourself any favors by getting aggressive with the neighbor. And living in the hood, it's not a good idea to get the police involved.

Get some ear plugs, stop communicating with the neighbor, and deal with it until your lease ends.

You've lived in 11 countries?

>All I want to talk about is what is up with that ketchup?

It's awful.

Maybe it was Taylor Swift's jet.

Brown Student’s Death - University Issues Statement and Friend Reacts

From the article:

Brown University issued a statement on Tuesday night.

"The death of Jeffrey Schlyer, who was a treasured member of the Brown community since his arrival in 2018, is heartbreaking. Staff from our Campus Life division and Chaplain's Office have been working to support his family and friends. After discussion with Jeff's family, we expect to be able to share a more comprehensive message with the full Brown community early tomorrow," said Brian E. Clark, Associate Vice President for News and Editorial Development at Brown University.

>In typical GoLocal fashion, most of this article is cut-and-paste from a social media post.

And yet you found it worthy of posting. Go figure.

Interesting to me that the anti-GoLocal jackoffs are nowhere to be found on this thread.

I also find it interesting that GoLocal is currently the only local news source covering this.

>I think a big problem with the Cranston St facility is that many of the people that are staying there are people that have been kicked out of other shelters for the issues you bring up. Fighting, sexual assaults, drug use in the shelter.

I saw an interview on the news with the guy running this place. He made it very clear that this is not a shelter, they don't have the resources to be a shelter, and its only purpose is to allow people in for a short period of time so they don't get hypothermia out in the cold.

Fox Point is much safer than the area near Dexter Park.

I'd prefer they raise prices rather than giving you less. The latter is a really sleazy move.

Not really.

Figure out what you have and then look for the same thing on ebay.

Generally speaking, coin shops are going to screw you.

Very helpful.
