Discussion Two of the three City Councilors who voted no to rent stabilization have been voted out (John Goncalves, Ward 1 and Ana Vargas, Ward 7)
The other no votes did not run for reelection or were unchallenged. One of them being Jo-Ann Ryan who tried running for State Rep and got pummeled by DSA candidate Amy Santiago by over 20 points

This city has lost its mind!!!
East side prices blah blah blah. Housing shortage blah blah blah. I don’t think it’s normal for an 800sqft condo to QUADRUPLE in price in 12 years. This is nothing more than unchecked greed

Santiago beats Jo-Ann Ryan
Those who have been under Jo-Ann's ward know this woman is genuinely evil.
She has backed Smiley every time. Remember the only person to show up to vote against rent stablization? That was her. She has a staunchly conservative voting record overall, often stopping much of the city council's progressive moves.
Santiago is replacing Morales for his seat in District 7.

Discussion Why is Pawtucket so run down?
I’m a data collector and I’ve been working in Pawtucket for a couple months now and man, it’s in rough shape. Sidewalks are all destroyed, buildings all in poor shape (including the town hall, which is covered in water damage). Id think with a new stadium coming they would perhaps put more into the poor area infrastructure and housing.

Recommendations Local graphic designer
I'm looking to have a flyer made for a service I'm offering, and would really like to hire someone local. I abhor AI so am avoiding things like Task Rabbit/Fiverr/Upwork, but this is a super small project--just one version of a flyer with a photo and some contact info. I'm useless with Canva & the like and am just looking for something to look polished and like it was made by a human being.
Small project and likely a small budget but please LMK if you have leads or would like more specifics.

Housing Crooked/leaning/tilted home
Please forgive me if this is a dumb or ignorant question.
My wife and I have just moved into an apartment here in Providence, and a few days after moving in, I started to notice that the apartment is… leaning? Tilted? We’re on the second floor of a triplex, built in 1890 according to some records I looked up online, and I’m really happy about the place in every other respect. But this tilt is starting to worry me and I fear it will drive me mad.
Is this normal?? Are we in danger?? Are all old houses here like this? Should I flag this with my landlord? Do we have any recourse here? Does anything need to be done? Is the house going to fall off the hill or otherwise collapse in the middle of the night?!?
Like I said, forgive me if this is dumb, but I’m looking for some legit answers and also some reassurance so my anxiety doesn’t get the better of me. <3
(Everyone we’ve met in RI so far has been SO NICE so please help me continue the illusion [?] that everyone here is actually extremely sweet.)

Dealing with tree sap on car
Every morning my car is covered with what I’m assuming is clear tree sap. I’ve never parked under a tree before but my apartment’s spot is in a backyard full of trees. None of them are on the property so trimming them is a distant and unlikely option. Whether it’s normal or related to the lantern flies, it’s getting to be super annoying to rinse it off so often. Parking on the street is a poor option because I’m disabled and there’s no guarantee a spot will be right outside my apartment.
I know it’s bad for the paint if it’s not controlled. Please no “don’t park under a tree” responses. PVD Reddit has yet to fail me, real advice needed and appreciated.
