You're exploiting low income neighborhoods here to satisfy your crime fetish. And, one doesn't "abandon" a neighborhood by deciding to move to another. It's America! We can live in as few or as many places as we see fit. Should we live long enough.

You'll never get this through the head of the posters (exceptions obvious) on this forum. They'll argue with a fencepost.

And are so often wrong about "Rhode Island losing population" it's becoming just stupid.

As though it's anyone's fault but yours that you introduce flawed logic

Code words that you invented, my man. No one but you and red plum read "noise" and think "he means black people!"

IM didn't exploit a low income neighborhood by living there. Are you exploiting a middle class neighborhood by renting out your former residence?

I think Providence has too much noise too. Care to explain how that makes me an exploitative racist? Or why you're not, for living in a presumably white neighborhood?

Incredible.

Could you not have found an older newspaper article? What was on the sports page, Stengel benches Clipper? In May of 2022, the United States Census Bureau released the results of their PES (post-enumeration survey) correcting for the overcount of eight states in 2020 and the undercount of six. Rhode Island was overcounted by 5% and the initial population growth of 4.7% was amended to reflect a loss of .3%. Moreover, the latest one year census estimates show the trend continuing in Rhode Island and being joined by Massachusetts as well as California and Oregon. Why this would surprise anyone, in spite of expensive housing in all four, remains a mystery. It's becoming just stupid.

This is being generous. I'd say the absence of any logic whatsoever.

Yeah, what's also a mystery is how we have such a severe housing shortage, despite new apt buildings popping up daily, if we're losing population.

It's nice that you have such faith in the 2020 census though. The people that ran it don't.

The corrections to the 2020 census took place in the middle of the Biden administration. And I don't think President Trump would have engineered for overcounts in far more Democratic voting states than Republican. High tax, high COL states are plagued by beleaguered families moving out with singles and couples moving in. Almost every shrinking state has either expensive housing, short supply, or both. It's not at all hard for me to admit that both Massachusetts and Boston are currently losing population. This is definitely getting stupid.

Yes, but the corrections were done on a count that ended early, along with covid chaos. The door to door effort was affected
