Ah yes, that makes sense. The Hells Angels probably have a hard time doing crime in new england, what with the rain and snow and cold.

Yeah, that's a terrible methodology (unless your goal is a whiter, wealthier statehouse)

Did you make sure you're not packing + cracking Black and Hispanic voters in Providence and surrounding cities? Newport looks pretty bad. That Jamestown district (very wealthy + white) taking some of the lower income, Blacker parts of Newport definitely doesn't look good. It looks like the same thing is happening with Cranston/South prov districts.
​
Gerrymandering sucks, but that's different from ensuring that Black and Latino communities are represented at the state house. They've already been packed into geographically small communities, so when someone makes demographic-agnostic district maps, it's a good way to dilute their representation in the state house.

>city where hells angels blow people away in broad dayligh
What city is that? i'm curious about hells angels' presence, not doubting. I agree rhode islanders have a weird sense of what's safe and what's not.
Although the RI state police did a big hells angels raid in providence last year, so you shouldn't feel too homesick.

That's magical thinking.
