Except it IS going to make things worse???

There’s a lot of development and redevelopment happening but if the community at large can’t partake then what is it gonna matter if there’s that many units?

The median household income is 50k in providence. That’s not nearly enough to afford rent in that place. So who is going to live there?????

Just here to comment that roughly 20 years later, it’s STILL the case. If you’re buying at 27 / 28 / 29 it’s usually because you had help from your parents, have been saving since you were 19, or a combo of both. A lot of people also wind up super house poor without planning for it these days because housing is so $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ even if you buy.

I feel for OP, I really do, but I think she’ll be in a better spot to buy In roughly 5-6 years than she is now.

Hi! I’m a little older than you — my husband and I are 31 and 33 respectively, give or take a few years.

I didn’t buy our starter home until I was 28. And that’s OK. Be kind to yourself, save up your money. You are young and have a ton of time to purchase a home — and you will. I was 22 when I set that goal for myself and I used it as motivation to get to this point.

My time has come.

Ahem.

For quick "americanized" korean food -- head to Ichiban in Cranston. I know, Japanese name but Korean and Japanese food with decent sushi too. You'll the staples -- the Jjigaes, the bulgogi, the Japchae, along with various Katsus as well. Family run, big staple in the community. On the way check out Mirae market for your Korean cooking staples.

If you don't want to head to Cranston -- hit up Sura in Providence. Same thing, but a little more "upscale" feel. Comes with the price tag too.

Want real korean bbq -- like grills, soju and Somaek towers? Sura in Johnston. it's also AYCE. Want more of a modern party atmosphere -- try Lecker if it's still open.

Want Korean fried chicken? BBQ Chicken on Thayer is the spot.

Want pojangmacha food? aka Tteukboki, Omurice, Katsu of all sorts? Wok & Pot in Providence.

As for Cambodian -- any of the Apsara's in providence and 4 Seasons Restaurants.

And lastly for Thai / Cambodian -- I LOVE Red Rice in Warwick, that place is legit -- has a nice atmosphere, delicious food, and the kids working the register while doing homework, as all legit delicious restaurants are.

Little???????

Rhode Island is overflowing with fantastic Korean spots, that are off the beaten path and are super authentic. Same thing goes for Cambodian food too — Cranston is also the only place I’ve found legit pork buns like the ones they day in NYC Chinatown.

Take a seat sir and or madam, please.
