[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in Providence, RI and have a bunch of friends who moved here from NYC or the Bay area because you can afford to buy a house here.[/quote]

Sounds lovely.  What type of careers do you and most of your friends have?  What kind of industry?[/quote]

Meds and Eds is the quick description for the economy here. I know a bunch of people working in the healthcare sector, some providers and some in management, many people working in higher ed, one fed who works for the EPA out of Boston, a few people working for tech companies that have offices here, one person in biotech. I'm a non-profit fundraiser. I think there's a shortage of engineers and people with the skills to work in advanced manufacturing.[/quote]

And an excess of talented baristas and mixologists with man buns who play banjo and create performance art on the side.[/quote]

Uh. I'm from Rhode Island originally. And there is a world class culinary school in Pvd, plus a top art school - so yeah, there is a good restaurant scene and a good arts scene. Are you suggesting that having food and art is somehow a bad quality in a city?[/quote]

It was a joke. Here's 5 minutes of quintessential Providence from this past weekend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eMN3q9Calc[/quote]
