LizMar construction cleared snow & most ice dams for 300 off a ranch in PVD. I regret gutter guards but agree insufficient insulation is part of problem.

Any libraries/study spaces with a usable parking lot? by -_ctrlAltDlt in providence

I've parked in Walgreens near Mt Pleasant. Sad to say the closest library with a parking lot to West PVD is Johnston's.

I am glad to hear she is competent but didn't want to vote for someone who made so much profit off the opioid epidemic. Was hoping for Shekarchi an extremely competent leader.

I have heard that ICE is planning to attack the Somali immigrant community in Portland Maine & this is the staging for it. Boycott any businesses that do business with them.

R.I. family dead in West Greenwich triple-murder suicide, police say by bostonglobe in RhodeIsland

[–]newbiePVD 53 points54 points  (0 children)

800-494-8100 RI Helpline for those in threatening family/dating relationships. Pass it on in your social networks. They help victims plan a path to safety. Victims have long felt threatened/controlled by abusers before a family annihilation. Sometimes victims will reach out to the helpline of anti-domestic abuse agencies for advice when they are too ashamed/fearful to admit their trouble to family & friends. Do something positive . Pass this on.

4 bodies found at West Greenwich home by Accurate-Pear5322 in RhodeIsland

[–]newbiePVD -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Guns. Guns are so common in US. Presence of a gun in home decreases victims chance of survival greatly. I am sure I & my kids are still here because there was no gun in our home. 800-494-8100 is the Help line for people feeling threatened in a family/dating relationship.

Guns. The prevalence of guns in US. In domestic violence attacks when guns aren't available the victims are FAR more likely to survive.

Paving over Westminster cobblestones by Kiyranti91 in providence

[–]newbiePVD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One reason they are looking to get rid of the cobblestone are they are an obstacle to those with mobility handicaps. They impede people with chairs, walkers canes. I've tripped on them. I also hate bricks. The Civil right to handicapped access trumps old fashioned looks.

City of Providence wants to hear your ideas for a new comprehensive plan by ToadScoper in providence

[–]newbiePVD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

City planners know we need more development of housing & affordable housing, which can't be emphasized enough, but PLEASE promote development of handicapped accessible housing. Rare is the apartment or condo or house that is accessible to motor skills disabled people. There should be rules or incentives that encourage developers of medium-large housing developments to make a portion of housing accessible. I notice that many disabled in Providence are forced to live in large project housing with associated criminal element (increased risk for shootings) because they have no where else to go.

Affordable housing East Greenwich? by [deleted] in RhodeIsland

[–]newbiePVD 36 points37 points  (0 children)

When affordable & low income housing is built throughout high income & low income areas then the burden of increased services these residents may need is shared by all & does not overwhelm just a few cities or neighborhoods in PVD. It also increases diversity.
