There is the beer club that meets once a month and regularly posts about it.

Free play arcade is super cool and people seem nice.

There are also larger venues outside of providence that are proper clubs.

There are also a few breweries that host events.

I’m regularly in the libraries and they host events where it’s easy to meet people.

That said, I’m an introvert. I’m ok when I have a friend to play off of, but left on my own, I’d rather just chill at home.

They just opened up a Providence Community Health Center in the Olneyville neighborhood in May. They are the first OBGYN provider in that neighborhood. The facilities are new, they have equipment to support multiple languages, and they have social workers to help with other issues that arise like depression.

I’m a man, so I can’t speak to their quality, but when I toured their facility, they seemed like a fantastic group of doctors and nurses who genuinely care about helping others.

That’s ideal then. The life expectancy of solar is 30+ years (and even then it just has reduced output, it doesn’t just die).

Solar doesn’t damage the roof and void warranties, at least not usually.

As for your friend, there are lots of people who say, they wouldn’t install it, but everyone is in a different situation.

Maybe they have a tree in front of their house that would block solar efficiency. Maybe they just got a new oil burner and wouldn’t want to scrap it (you don’t have to scrap oil, but then you’re just shooting yourself in the foot). Maybe they have natural gas and want to keep that (same situation as oil).

With solar, you can go 100% electric and your heating and energy costs are the solar panels. For 6 years, you break even. If you sell the place, solar panels increase property value. After 6 years, your heating and cooling cost is $0 a month.

If you’re focused long term, you’re breaking even at worst and then pocketing $200+ a month in 6 years.

I don’t see the argument of not doing solar unless you have trees blocking panels.
