Reply to comment by springwaterh20 in Providence RI is the 4th most expensive city for rent in the US by outrageouslyoffended

I don’t think this internet image is accurate whatsoever in saying providence is the 4th most expensive in the country. There is no way it is more expensive then San Fran,LA etc. There are 1beds that pop up in hot pads for $1000-1100 all the time in providence. Of course a few years ago it wasn’t even close.. I lived in a 1 bed on Doyle Ave for $700 a month in 2019. I’m not saying there isn’t worse deals then what you got… I’m just saying it isn’t good. Stay where you’re at if you like it. I’m lucky because my landlady isn’t raising rent but I pay ~$1000 for a 2 bed in prov currently.

No?! It was?? … as I said “I know a few years ago it wasn’t close” I was just making the comparison 😉

It’s not comparable. Covid disrupted rent prices so much here.

Lol.. I’m aware of the massive rent hike that happened after 2020, it wasn’t necessarily covid but sure.
