Reply to comment by purplepenny23 in Does anyone commute from Providence to Boston each day by train? We are seriously considering purchasing a home but we work at Mass General Hospital. Looking for people with experience to either talk us into it or talk us out of it. by [deleted]

Where did you live?

I lived in Woonsocket and Burriville. I know Woonsocket has a rough reputation but the Mayor ( well I guess she was just recently removed but is running unopposed so she will be sworn in again?!? RI politics are stupid…) has actually done a lot of good and is actually trying to help all the people who live there as opposed to just the rich white people.

I worked in downtown Providence, North Providence and on the East Side. The last 3 years I worked in human services trying house people all over the state. I spent SO MUCH TIME correcting government officials on laws and regulations and even their own math…

The housing crisis is going to get worse and if you’re planning on moving to RI be ready for a LOT of unhoused individuals around.
