Reply to comment by jimmylstyles in Is West Warwick that bad? by an000nymous

Thanks! I grew up lower-middle class and it is disheartening to hear people over exaggerate how bad economically depressed areas are. Just because people aren’t rich somewhere doesn’t mean the area doesn’t have redeeming value. I am more concerned about actual danger than I am “trashiness”

Yeah if you are comfortable with people going to the local market in their pajama pants when it’s 90 degrees out and thinking it’s socially acceptable… then yeah you will be fine. It’s not “dangerous” for 95 percent of WW, and I would say half of it is standard suburbia

You just described 85% of Florida.

I live in Fox Point on the East Side of Providence. Highly desirable neighborhood in a lot of people's eyes (and I love it) but as for "Definitely run-down and sketchy looking" haha, that's a LOT of Fox Point 😆 ... personally, I prefer it to the overly-manicured preciousness of, say, the neighboring Wayland neighborhood.

If I had a car and didn't want to live in a city, I'd 100% consider West Warwick.

There are almost zero places in RI that are dangerous
