Reply to comment by ryanfingawesome in Phenomenon of making an outside of Providence recommendation when a poster asks for Providence info by ryanfingawesome

without reliable transportation something in Elmhurst is not more accessible to someone in Washington Park than something in Cranston just because its in Providence. Its a small state something in a neighboring town might in fact be more accessible to many people without cars. If anyone really has the inability to travel far they will likely state the neighborhood rather than the city in their post.

Exactly depending on which bus line they live on, getting to Mt. Pleasant might be more difficult than Pawtucket. And honestly if someone's got such specific circumstances, they'll normally put that in the post so recommendations can take that into account. There's no erasure here, this sounds like someone's butt hurt for something they don't actually experience and are trying shame everyone else for it.

Living in the West End, many things in Cranston are closer or the same distance to me than the equivalent in Providence city limits, including libraries.
