Reply to Why is Rhode Island a beach destination? by [deleted]
If you mean clean = no seaweed welcome to New England. Not as nice as outer cape / CC National seashore or parts of Maine but also not as cold as Maine and defo nicer than CT beaches!
But comparing beaches in different temperature zones is foolish anyway. There’s stunning beaches in Ireland for example that beat Florida by a mile but it’s not warm. I hate any kind of beach next to overdevelooed areas / condo towers for example so going to Florida is the last thing I’d want to do for a beach.

Just make sure you aren’t on an undergrad heavy street (ie power) / stick to the outer edges of fox point or the east side -Hope village to get away from campus.

I don't buy into the warning about cops since people have become such aggressive drivers over the years. F*ck that - drive like a jerk I hope you get caught and no I'm not going to warn you anymore. But yes i was taught that too.

Also I think the lights flashing for cops is a rapidly dying habit/generational thing. I flash more for lights being off or it’s ok to turn.

most people don’t realize there are more than one model of the nest and this is basically Nest Lite. Ergo folks may be buying this thinking it has features it does not have. So pointing that out because the RIE email and Link doesn’t do that. And all of this has already been covered in this r/ last week. So adding context for your post.

No my point is that several people have already posted this on this r/ thinking it was the other one so I’m making it clear it’s not what one might think. Even the RIE websiite doesn’t spell it out. But if you need the last word, go for it.

And? Look it up. It’s not the full featured nest. That’s discounted to 100 on the same site. Quoting text back doesn’t make it so. https://store.google.com/us/magazine/compare_thermostats?hl=en-US

This one isn’t the “learning” one - that’s 100 on sale - so if you are looking for those features THIS IS NOT THAT ONE.

Bank Newport is lovely. Citizens is…. Fine. It was fee Heavy back in the day so we switched to BN and never looked back. I mean I never go into a branch anymore (maybe once every two years?) so the need for branches is irrelevant to me. Also rarely get cash out…. Santander is terrible. Go Almost anywhere but there.

Comps would be more appropriate to compare a 2 br in J.P. or rosi v east side. Used to be 2400+ before Covid to about 1600 tops. Now it’s 2400 to 1800-2000 routinely.

You’re only looking for fha and va friendly property? No wonder you aren’t seeing anything. That filter is always a prospect killer.

I work in RE / there is also a fall market for sales. Everything went off a cliff this fall bc of mortgage rates. That’s unusual.

Yeah but pre COVID the difference between a 2 br here and BOS was substantial. BOS still more expensive but the gap is getting bizarrely narrow

It’s also November so there’s a lot Less on the market right now and lots of stuff has been sitting bc it’s either overpriced and/or the mortgage rates. The market should come down a tiny bit but there’s such won’t up demand don’t expect the numbers to drop much.

How much distance do you want to cover. I mean the pedestrian bridge is well lit and nice at night / but are you looking for something more nature/y? I mean I wouldn’t walk solo myself in the woods at night anywhere tbh…..
