13 Reasons why was better

You also need to account for the increase in access to inexpensive money. The cheap and easy loans drive additional demand by allowing more participants into the marketplace who wouldnt have been able to buy before, and simultaneously empowering those already in a position to purchase to spend more.

Run this up alongside the fact that were not building new housing at any significant pace, and you get back to what i was saying about supply and demand.

Not enough houses to meet demand. it's that easy.

They raise rates hoping that they can kill demand, but the reality is that even at increased rates its still sensible to buy the house with fixed rate debt, because those who carry fixed rate debt in an inflationary environment will see the real costs of repaying their loan decrease.

We are not building enough housing supply to keep up with growing demand. It really is that easy. Don't let anyone tell you it's oversimplification.

Without the video evidence being provided, how could it be substantiated? It would be hearsay.

The East End

You can do that work without a permit.

I'll sell you the 3/4's of a bottle i have in my refrigerator for $50

Lmfao this has to be trolling. OP has mastered post-ironic thought. BIPOC yoga to escape the semantic gentrification of the west end? Get me off this earth, im belly laughing right now.

Why so much hate here for AI generated images? The technology is super cool, easy to use, and ends up spitting out unique and pleasing stuff like this. I have art hung in my home that i generated with AI. Not everything these image generators create is a knockoff you know...

I wish I could give them the benefit of the doubt, but they've been so wrong so many times in their reporting on a variety of different stories that i cant even take them seriously.

You're correct, and he'll end up soundly convicted of those firearms related charges. That doesnt negate the self defense claim though. There is no duty to retreat in RI, so as long as the story doesn't develop differently his claim of self defense will probably stand.

LOL ABC6 doesnt even mention the landlord kicking the door in. The way they worded their articles tells us all we need to know about how they wanted us all to feel about it...

Every single news outlet calling it an "eviction". Could these journalists be more braindead?

It was promptly forgotten, as it was possibly one of the most useless pieces of legislation ever pondered by a governing body.

oh wow, this is excellent. would you sell a print of this?

Newport is where you oughta get rowdy on st paddy's

Thank you for your service

If all of the people on this sub complaining about how much they hated providence just got up and left, we wouldn't have a housing crisis anymore.

Even if 40% of them were locals moving up the ladder, it's still better than nothing. Rental arbitrage opportunities around here are nearly nonexistent, can you substantiate their impact on the local market or otherwise prove that arrangement is an issue? Typically the subletting you see going on around here is student housing that's by the room.

The likelihood that the condo association would be originally constructed to permit short term rentals in a brand new luxury build is very slim.

You cant write off vacancies as they are not an expense. Rental vacancies are marginal in RI, and there is a supply/demand imbalance in the retail market that requires no explanation...

People need to get over it and let growth happen so we can move this city forward.

So much love for this. Judging by all of the comments on this sub it appears that twitter folks are doing so much better with their comprehension of fundamental economics than the average r/providence user.

What a prick

preach

Hit us with the analysis on that, ill standby

You are delusional.

^our state is dead last in terms of absolute permits for new construction issued, never mind Providence specifically. We build essentially nothing, and our housing stock is basically ancient on the average.

More housing supply is more housing supply. We need it. If "luxury" units are what are built, so be it.
