My parents are from Providence. I grew up going there a lot. Spent a lot of time there—memories. RI is a lovely little state.

Unfortunately, they moved and raised me in a red state in a small conservative town. And then as an adult, I moved to Philly— which is riddled with crime and corruption. I live in a very “nice” area here and cars are stolen daily, people are murdered, and the cops don’t answer 911. Seriously, 911 will hang up on you. You’ll be on hold for 20+ minutes. It’s absolutely not safe anywhere in this city.

I want to live somewhere that’s cleaner, safer, and beautiful. It may not seem like it to someone that’s from there, but you’re very lucky to live in New England. There’s so much access to education and incredible hospitals. Anytime I’ve visited and spent time with family it’s peaceful and put together. Philly is an absolute dumpster fire.
