Reply to comment by Trinimaninmass in Do you like living in Providence? by movingtori

I moved here from right outside of Worcester, so I get that feeling a lot! I actually recently went carless this past summer (much to the demise of my MA family who cannot fathom this at all) and feel so much better not being car dependent like I was while in MA. I can walk to most places that I need to go from where I live currently and it’s the best feeling.

Another transplant who grew up in MA 👋 .. I love RI and Providence!

I think the more someone has lived in other parts of the US and in other countries, the better they appreciate what RI offers, and in such a compact area.

As for driving, I gave up my car and driving entirely, years back. I'm in Fox Point and can walk everywhere I need to go: markets, doctors, dentists, bank, my old workplace (been wfh for over a decade), parks, rivers, the bay.

I find it really pretty darn idyllic 🤷‍♀️
