Romney's a RINO however upon taking office, Romney faced a state legislature in which Democrats held 85 percent of the seats. So any healthcare bill he signed would have had to go through that gauntlet.

I've been there I go to the Denny's there a bunch. The developer of the Centre of New England had plans to build a six-lane road connecting the two ends of the boulevard, but when he went into receivership in 2013, the project came to a halt. Eventually, that will get sorted out and the new owner will probably maintain the property. On average e.g. not in special cases like this people tend to take better care of things they privately own rather than the tragedy of the commons with public property. Just like people don't take a rental through a car wash but people will lovingly hand wash their mustang in the driveway. Sure someone might neglect their shitbox until it hits a junkyard but then someone else will buy up the scrap and do something with it. The government won't do anything proactive it will only react if someone raises a stink at least when it comes to maintenance. Also, the government has incentives for grifts, bribes, and favors for any of its projects increasing prices and reducing quality. Whereas a private owner has the incentive to get the best quality for the lowest cost.

The Libertarian Party of Rhode Island is actively working on cultivating candidates that will if elected eliminate as much taxation as possible so it's not just an abstraction similar things are happening nationwide eventually the abstraction will become policy.

All of those functions could be done far cheaper, and better in the private sector. Roads should be privatized paid for and maintained by advertising just like dominos was filling in potholes and putting their logo on it a couple years back.

Our roads are in horrible shape with so many potholes its like driving on the surface of the moon if you drive through a Walmart parking lot even one that takes multiple large truck deliveries a day its pristine. Plus if a road was privately owned people wouldn't put up with the conditions they put up with now with the government. Because you have no choice with the government you can't boycott a government without moving but you can boycott a business. Fire companies used to be private and even today often volunteer. They used to compete for who could get to a fire faster to put it out paid out by private insurance. Government took it over and they unionized and expenses ballooned. I would know my dad was a firefighter in Providence for 25 years.

You mean police who shoot teenagers in cars and have 0 accountability. I'd rather defund the police and have my own firearms to protect me and the ability to hire private security if I need to who I can fire if they do a bad job or bring disrepute. Where do you feel safer the dark alley in providence at 3am that's the purview of the government police, or the nightclub full of drunk people with the bouncer?

Public schools that indoctrinate and groom your kids rather than homeschooling that allows kids to learn at their own pace often graduating 1-2 years before other children. Or private schooling that everyone agrees is better quality. All of which would be cheaper Taxation is theft, the government creates a problem and then steals from you purporting to be the only solution to it.

running out of time to type this much will have to do.

Zoning rights should go hand in hand with property rights the government shouldn't be able to tell you what you can and can't do with your own property otherwise you never really own anything your just renting from the government the same argument for property taxes which also happens to be theft.

Snow can happen as early as October and as late as April. We've had a very mild winter so far. Some of the coldest days i've experienced in 34 years of living here have been in February. I wasn't alive for the blizzard of 78 but I specifically remember growing up with the blizzard of 96 and having to crawl through windows in my house at the time because there was too much snow outside to reach a storage room from the outside.

I've been here my whole life, I've been driving for 18 years it's bothered me the whole entire time. All your assumptions are wrong.

DaDaruki, Waterman Street, Providence, Off of Thayer Street little hole in the wall place tiny Japanese market area with Japanese candies and drinks. Used to be call Haruki Express but they recently renamed. Their Sushi combo's are insane value for how good they are.

Seriously fuck this guy ruined Providence's budget for years as Mayor and was rewarded with a congress seat and continual re-election. Continually failing upwards.

This proposal would do the opposite of relieving pressure on housing stock. It would artificially juice demand by not allowing sharing of property. If she really wanted to relieve pressure on housing stock she would propose repealing zoning laws and regulations that make it cost-prohibitive to create more housing increasing supply thus reducing cost.
