lol I've never heard of the being turned away for not being "gay enough". Also I'm not sure if they're always 18+, I'm fairly certain that's only for some events. you'd have to check they're insta or website maybe?

I hope to see updates! I'm convinced most of the multifamily, mill town style building that make up Providence's neighborhood are plagued with these problems. Rented one in Fed Hill where the absolute bare minimum would be done. This sounds even worse.

They will not touch paint unless someone complains. I bet they don't even check it to keep their consciences clean.

What the fuck do we do? How I see it;

A. Enforcement needs to be stepped up and we need to reevaluate standards for all of the buildings that are reaching a breaking point; we all know these in question were built around the same time. The one-off buildings that make up this city make it easy to hide all sorts of issues. I imagine going after a 20 story apartment building is a lot easier than 5 standalone 4 unit multis. That shouldn't be an excuse though.

B. I've always heard about the red tape surrounding building new. Is there truth to this? Might be something to address since the only new buildings I see are far out of my price range to rent solo. Although I'm definitely not making crazy money, I still consider my pay pretty good in comparison to those around my age/demographic.

C. Honestly more of us should probably get off our butts and protest/demonstrate. If it keeps going the way it is, this should naturally happen anyway. The more press coverage on the problem, the more pressure there is on our politicians.

Christopher motors in Warwick may do it. I've squeaked my car by with them once or twice. maybe just roll the front windows down when you pull up ๐Ÿ˜‚
