Another shooting/stabbing. (Providence: public schools, expensive, flooding)

Police are investigating after a man was shot while driving in Cranston Monday afternoon.
"Col. Michael Winquist said the 25-year-old man was driving down Hillwood Street with his child and girlfriend when someone in another car pulled up and fired several shots into their vehicle."
Google that address and they still want $270-285,000 for a home in such a subpar neighborhood not ideal for raising a family. RI is a joke. Go to a "red state" and you can pay much less than that in a much better neighborhood.
That area has been on a downwards slide for years. I've long said that if you want to buy in Cranston, keep a good mile buffer from the Providence city line. Hollytree is correct in that Providence does have desirable areas, however none of them border Cranston.

There is plenty in Providence that is not ghetto. There is plenty in the state that is highly desirable. So best to not give too much credence to the ghetto lovers.
Therefore, your "RI is a joke" comment comes off as uninformed.
Holly, that poster has been looking to relocate to RI. With I believe a budget of approximately 300k, he is not uninformed but rather frustrated with the options available.
Dayzoftheweek, I'd suggest looking in the Elmhurst neighborhood in Providence.

Despite what is constantly repeated here with such a nasty pejorative as "ghetto", Providence has several fine minority/majority neighborhoods. "That Providence does have desirable areas, however none of them border Cranston." is just the most recent example of such targeted nonsense. Whether it comes from a self-styled crime reporter sitting at his computer in the woods of rural Maine or inexplicably, from the East Side of Providence, it's no more true or less toxic.

You need to drop the race thing, seriously. It has absolutely nothing to do with anything we are talking about, and your fixation on that factor reflects far more upon yourself than the posters here you disparage ("woods of rural Maine", really dude?). Anyway, I stand by what I said. Some of the roughest neighborhoods of Providence border Cranston. South Providence, West End, Silver Lake...all bad areas. It dissipates as you cross over into Cranston, but there remains a zone of "shakiness" all along the border.

That's weird, because per your shooting/stabbing map, Silver Lake looks like one of the safest neighborhoods in Providence

Yes, now I see, it's just an unkind coincidence that all of these neighborhoods you incessantly target with your nasty opinions just happen to be minority/majority places? "Drop the race thing"? Really? Best you own it, it's yours, not mine.
Housing in high tax, high wage, high COL states is predictably more expensive than in their low tax, low wage, low COL counterparts. Duh? A more fitting illustration of "desirability" can be gleaned from domestic migration data. As in, where are the vast majority of mobile Americans flooding to? Anybody require a hint? And this "my Blue is better than your Red" crap is something one might expect to overhear on a recess playground. It's a big and beautiful country from coast to coast, with great Americans in every state. I must say that the insularity and lack of sophistication in tiny Rhode Island appears to have become debilitating.
Man was just killed in shooting at a laundromat, located at 1351 Washington St. in the Washington Park section of South Providence.
I am not sure which laundromat this is, as there does not seem to be a Laundromat listed at that address. There is Laundromax located at 1315 Broad St., perhaps the Journal got the numbers mixed up?
