Nova farms in Attleboro and solar in seekonk. Native sun isn't bad either.

Ah yes, mail boxes being weld shut with new slit openings = RI is hell hole.

People stealing mail is a nation wide problem.

I'm insulted pizza strips are even on the same list as a tuna casserole.

Ohhh I like that one.

Text and jive, just don't text and drive. Duh.

Bold of you to assume what I do outside of work, or even how my work can help RI as a whole in the long run. I still pay the difference in income taxes. You realize the income taxes is the only difference, right? My expanded income allows me to contribute more to the RI economy than before. Stop looking at remote work as so black and white.

Feel free to reach out if you keep checking out RI.

Resident here working remote for a company in Boston. If you think working remotely means someone doesn't contribute to a state, you are mistaken. This isn't the 1980s anymore, things are changing. Rhode Island doesn't have enough jobs to even sustain everybody, and people have been living in RI working in CT and Mass for years.

Education is okay there, but I'm not entirely too familiar with it but haven't heard anything bad. The east side of Cranston near Roger Williams/South Providence isn't the best, West Cranston is more wealthy/woods. You can drive around or even Google map drop in and see the difference. It's urban versus more suburban vibes.

OP, sorry for some people's initial responses here. I'd recommend Middletown or the East Greenwich/North Kingstown area since you can afford it. Close to the water near good restaurants, etc. You could probably even check out the east side of Providence, not East Providence. I'd recommend checking them out in both the summer and after Labor Day when the tourist leave. Just know winters can be long and boring when you stare at a gray ocean.

Also, a lot of people here are bitter about the sudden very sharp increase of COL here, so try not to poke the bear. It's happening all over New England as Boston expands, not just here.

That's why people usually move, though. For a better life? Granted OPs response was rude, but come on guy.

I worked in the industry for 2 years for a company other than Newport Solar. Go Newport Solar.

Keep drinking that crazy juice, hun.

Between this and Aaron Thomas at the high school, there's no way a good chunk of other teachers didn't know what was going on either.

Do you need to be around the PVD area? I have friends at Cumberland Crossing who have been there for 2 years and love it. 1-2 beds in your price range.

Our gas bill went up from $96 to $280 this past month. 900 sqft apartment and we didn't change any behaviors and don't take super hot showers. The usage was slightly up but not enough where I can see how it's almost a $200 a month difference. We have electric heat, too and it was cheaper than the gas this month.

Guess we shiver with cold showers the rest of the winter 🙃
