Having lived in lots of different places I can’t think of anything worse than providence. I’ve seen war torn cities look better. The politics, the people, the culture it’s just in another level of horrid. And nobody realizes it I’m guess because they have never been anywhere else. No reason why it takes 5 plus years and going to fix a freeway. No excuse other than the politics. Anyway hard pass on providence need a real city.

Sounds like you're the one who hasn't been anywhere else, certainly not to any "warn torn cities."

Beirut in the 80’s had more appeal.

Sure, Providence does not resemble a war-torn city! That’s a completely ignorant statement.
The PVD food scene is pretty good and it def punches above its weight in the food and arts scene. What restaurants are you eating at where the frozen food aisle tastes better?! You can made a good faith argument like the city has bad politics and infrastructure and I’d agree with you. Instead you’ve engaged in repeated hyperbole which comes across as obnoxious.

It really does feel like a barren concrete desert, and the layout of the city is totally nonsensical. Having lived in various parts of the country, I'd say RI and MA have the worst drivers and Providence has the worst roads. With a government that wants to increase police presence and decrease funding for schools, this place is way more conservative that I expected. Planning to leave asap.

Not sure I agree with concrete desert, some good looking buildings around the city. The layout dates back 100s of years to when the mode of transportation was horses and they moved cattle and other animals around the city. With regards to the horrible roads and other infrastructure your gripes are well said. They waste taxpayer money elsewhere, zero accountability.
