Funny, I've lived here for 10 years and I can't think of a single way it's worse than when I got here, except for housing costs, which is a national issue.

well Iā€™m sorry you missed the glory years, RI has been in structural decline since the 1970s ā€” fact not opinion. RI was a national powerhouse prior to then, and the shift of industry to services was bound to happen but RI has not done this gracefully. Unchecked single political party power has gutted the wealth of this once amazing place. Over 70% of our bridges are deficient. We have borrowed on every asset and deferred every liability. We have failed our residents.
