>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.

Seriously? Car break-ins are super common in Providence. You claim to be in Federal Hill, so you should understand this (unless you just moved here or don't have a car).

The article contains facts and opinions. You're apparently not disputing the facts. Do you disagree with the opinions?

Evidence? As I said, all of the recent violence has been in the news.

Let's also not forget about the circa 2019 John Hopkins study which put Providence schools among the very worst in the nation and comparable to Baltimore and the South Bronx. There's a reason for that. You simply can't learn in an environment dominated by fear and violence.
