I stand by what I just said. Not relevant to this time period.

It's not irrelevant. You don't respond in the first place claiming your house is 2k a month when you bought it years ago. The fuck? Am I going to go to threads asking about rent and say "it's affordable, I locked in 500 / month, 10 years ago"? What kind of logic is this lol

OP is asking about current prices. We're in 2023. You aren't finding a house for that price.

50k / yr salary will get you a dumpster behind McDonald's. Maybe.

>2018

Our budget is 99% infinite highway expansion

I guess.. not sure why they commented when the prices they're paying are out of date

I'm certain most people in this subreddit are well off. If he posted to the Providence subreddit asking about this state, the comments would have been opposite.

Upvoted you as you're correct. 50k is barely scraping by.

Maybe if you live in a shitty part of RI, don't drive, perhaps a roommate, no kids... 50k ain't much here, ya gonna live frugal af

I suggest posting in the Providence subreddit as most people here are generally out of touch with housing and rent prices... Amongst many other things.

Op is asking about current prices, you're talking about prices over a decade ago

> Literally No conservative locally has ever said that.

We literally have a white supremist chapter in this fucking state. Take a wild guess what political spectrum they're on.

Says this meeting was last May. Am I missing something?

> There's not a lot of great solutions here but the city and state police have been working on this for a while.

If this was any other incident, whether it be a riot, multiple cars, whatever, you bet your ass police would absolutely use force and other methods if need be to stop them. We also have their routes and exact times they plan this, at the very least, there's preventative measures.

>Anytime the opportunity has come up, you go out of your way to take a shot at him over this hyper fixation

Holy shit, the guy has been mayor for several months and the only thing his office has released is a proposal to strip a bike lane and multiple photos of him posing with police. There's literally only two things to "fixate" on lmao

Your adamant defense of him is making me question your sanity. How long should we wait until he does something productive or even releases a positive statement on fucking anything?

>It's obviosuly still a problem but if you have the impression that nothing's being done at all, I might suggest paying the slightest bit of attention.

Crushing a few ATVs is doing... "something." I also guess I'm an avid book reader since I read a book a few years ago.

>Trying to shamelessly shit on the current mayor over this when we're not even a week into Spring just because you're still all worked up over a bike lane answer you've willfully misinterpreted is a weird look.

A week into spring and his only proposal so far is to start the destruction of progress. He had a boner for the police and so far, his social media is just flexing with them in a heightened state of police fear and corruption, nothing about policy.

And misinterpreting? I'm just able to read between the lines. Everyone with a brain knows he's in bed with real estate and business fucks in Providence and what do ya know, those fucks despise walking and biking infrastructure because "muh parkin'."

Weird for you to defend someone who doesn't give a flying fuck about this city.

One of the larger ATV gangs has a public Facebook and Instagram group. They've had it up for years. You're telling me, even though they post the exact fucking date and sometimes the route, the police can't solve this?

Has Smiley done anything yet aside from post pictures of himself at celebrations on social media and threaten to rip up our bikes lanes...?

Man seems full of false promises so far.

It's a helmet and a crossbow 🤷 Escape rooms and paintball require so much more.

>Plant City!!!

Ah, Plant City, where they pretend to give a shit about their community.

As per their Instagram Post

"Warning, this will be a long and sensitive read.

It's been a while since I've felt this angered and offended, granted being in the service industry it does come with expectations that we are put in difficult situations on a regular basis, however we've been pretty lucky that this community has accepted us and our culture with open arms.

This morning, one of our staff was treated with utter disrespect and racist stereotypical comments were spoken towards our staff member. Unfortunately we did not get this person's name since in the 4.5hrs she stayed with us she never made a purchase.

Yes, it is our policy that if you are going to be sitting in our store, you are expected to make a purchase. However, we do not enforce that, as many guests often come in, meet a friend, have complimentary water and depart.

However, as with every single other business on this planet - large or small - you cannot bring in outside food or drink - and certainly not from a competitor down the street (yes we've seen this happen). While I can only wonder why anyone feels entitled to demand a seat in our store for no cost, I can assure you that you will find other business establishments (corporate or small) equally unwilling to let you do the same. It is common sense, and common courtesy.

To the individual who insulted our staff with racist comments, if you are reading this, the following msg is directed at you. Your perception of diversity must be as narrow as your sense of taste and common decency, as many of our guests and nearly half of our staff are non-Caucasian. Many of our staff are bilingual and represent over 5 countries of origin.

I am sorry your taste in beverages is so limited, but I'm truly sad that your awareness of people is so much less developed, today was the first and last time you lingered in our space with your dog for 4.5hrs, and drank our hot water and used our toilets for free, please don't come back again, you have been banned for life."

But some of the roaches are kinda cute 🥺
