Already tried them. He asked me to take the car to his dealer to have it looked at then ghosted me. Very annoying has he was literally in my office just a few days before as my employer is one of his biggest clients.

I grew up in NP (I’m 40) and left for about 11 years, bought a house here in 2020. It’s got issues, like anywhere else, but overall I’m happy here.

I don’t think they are clueless, I think they know exactly what they are doing and for whose benefit

Petrarca Law. We didn’t actually end up using him because it would’ve cost more than the value of our claim, based off his own free advice. We called first and spoke to the secretary and then sent a detailed email of our claim. He responded pretty much right away. https://petrarcalaw.com/legal-services/motor-vehicle-property-damage/

Thanks for your insight! The more people I talk to, the more they tell me that North Providence is a better choice between the two! I appreciate it.

Woonsocket and North Providence are wildly different. NP is very much a suburb of providence, whereas Woonsocket is…Woonsocket. If you have/want children, the NP school system is ranked significantly higher. It’s also in great proximity to PVD and everything you’d want to do in the city - I’ve rarely paid more than $10 for an Uber on the weekend.

In 2023 if you still believe that is true, and you think cops should kill anyone, I’ve got nothing to say. Best of luck.

Police in the US only kill like 1K a year, most of those shootings are justified. This is much ado about nothing.

The "days in billing cycle" have been really off too. For me, November had 38 days for me, December had 33, and January had 29. It's like they can't keep up with meter reads.

Small claims it is then. The economic reality is an attorney wouldn’t be able to charge more than a 30-40% contingency fee. So on a $5,000 DV claim, they’re looking at a max of 10 hours worth of pay, and a pretty significant chance of nothing at all, and they’re probably going to spend well over 10 hours to get there.
Because there isn’t a statutory framework for determining DV, every case has to be negotiated or tried on its merits - that’s expensive. It’s one thing to say my brand new $30,000 car has a DV of $3,000 from an accident - but if you keep it for 7-8 years the actual DV loss is closer to $300, and the value of $300 in 7 years is less than $300 today and much less than $3,000 today. So what should you get? The present value of $300? Or $3,000? Unless you routinely sell your cars when they’re a year or two old, $3,000 more than makes you whole, and that’s the remedy you’re owed. To be made whole - no more, no less.

“Perez has gained a reputation in law enforcement and in the city for compassion and discipline.”
The article doesn’t say how or how he gained that reputation. I also don’t see how his experience as a boxer has anything to do with being a police chief (other than maybe the 40% statistic). This is just blatant copaganda running an ad for a cop.

Because the sun really hits my house, it's reading 80 degrees inside my house. I, too, thought back to last week and how I was freezing under my blanket because my heat couldn't catch up.

Funny, a friend just traded in a 2011 Corolla with 113k miles to them for 2.5k. I told them I would have given them 4k for it 🤣

Gracie’s is good, but we’ve really become Persimmon fans over the last few years. They should be ranked higher.
