Full time (40 hours a week) at $15 an hour is $30k a year.
$16 an hour is $32k.
$17 an hour is $34k.
NONE of these are livable wages in 2023.

>It would take a long time and a huge cultural shift for Americans to be able to see the same plate of food or product they used to get for "$10" suddenly being $13 or even $15.
Umm that's what has happened almost everywhere during the past 2 years.

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 In your price range, if you can find something, it will likely be small and outdated.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.

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.

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

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.
