Has anyone mentioned the tight housing market? I understand it's tight everywhere -- including Canada!

But it is crazy tight in Providence.

Are you thinking of renting a house or apt? Renting anywhere with a dog has reportedly become much more difficult according to posts in this sub this past year. (Note though that there are dogs in nearly every property on my street and most are rentals; I see tons of pittie mixes everywhere in Fox Point. Doodles and pitties.)

A bigger concern re: kids + Providence is how incredibly, inexplicably bad Providence Public Schools are. We pay a lot for them yet they are awful.

So, definitely research both housing availability and schools before you decide.
