Enjoy the grand larceny charges when found, dumbos!

I already have a property in Smithfield so I’m ready to go but again my job won’t permit me to move at this moment

From what I've seen RISE is getting lots of business over on Jefferson. It helps that there's an hourly bus route (14) going by there.

The new train station is Pawtucket is probably going to add to that too, especially if they decide to build more parking.

Don't bother with GF in Portsmouth. Used to be a great dispensary but greed has fully taken over. Average price of an 1/8 is now $60.

They are going to move R.I.S.E to Rte. 2 for better access for people & to boom the business!

The new homeowners on my street are a guy from Philly and a family from India. There's deff a variety of people relocating here outside of the typical Boston transplant. Most others around me are older, grew up in RI or some even lived a few blocks away growing up.

And Tennessee, I see at least 4 Tennessee plates a week, I don't think I'd seen more than one or two a year before 2021.

I would if I could afford it.

If the bitter people on this sub welcome the newbies instead of hate on them, we’d all be happier overall. Just sayin’

Prob going to get downvoted for this, but I moved back during the pandemic & I plan on leaving again.

I get what people love about this state (I grew up here after all), so I’m not going to bash it. It’s just not for me, at least for where I am in my life/career.

A ray of fucking sunshine

Buy now, if at all possible, Providence real estate is looking to rise again in 23 according to Forbes, it was a metro area thing, but I think nationals consider the whole state to be commuter reach to Providence.

Bigger companies are expanding and hiring like crazy. I work for a French-owned company with 80,000+ employees and our office in Quonset has had at least 20 people relocate here with their families the last few years. Not just from other states, but countries like Brazil and Mexico as well.

You seem like a cheerful and fun person.

Lol 😆

I lived in CT for a few years, that state is w e i r d.

I don't think an increasing number of people relocating to RI is mutually exclusive with an overall decline in population, though. Higher-income people have been moving here during the pandemic because now they can. I was already here, but I'm part of this trend. In 2021 I took a Boston-area job I never would have considered two years earlier because I was only going to be expected to come into the office every other week or so. If I had to commute every day, no way. That job, in turn, enabled me to pay way more for a house than I would have been able to otherwise. RI is ideally situated for this kind of migration.

Meanwhile, as those people move in and housing costs balloon, people who can't get those sorts of jobs may be forced out, and in higher numbers than the people who are coming in. And that's not taking into account an aging population (we're the ninth-oldest state) and birth rates (we have the fifth lowest).

To be fair there are plenty of videos of porch pirates out there.

hisses while gargling coffee milk STAY AWAY!

I’m from south texas and plan on moving here but not til I retired from my job

This. Rhode Islanders somehow think they are the epicenter of stuff like people migrating to the state and the housing/rental crisis probably exaggerates that shared consciousness. I am from southwest Florida and visited there during the holidays. Approximately 100 people move to Florida every day, and I’m not just talking about boomers. Covid changed lots of peoples decisions on where they want to live but Rhode Island is not growing much at all when it comes to the population. Anytime I fly into the state now it feels more like my sleepy Florida hometown and my hometown now feels like some mutated city.

Haha I was trying to respond to someone else.
