"Like it used to be" doesnt mean it wasnt terrible then too.
Oh the neighborhood is clean and safe! How awful!
I knew it was a risk posting this because I'm as liberal as they come but to deny the reality of situation isn't being woke...it's being accepting of a broken system and then pointing the finger at me for calling it out as if I'm the problem.
NIMBY? How about not in anyone's backyard?
You probably live in a gentrified section of Providence and guess what? When you were house/apartment hunting, lets be real, you weren't looking west of cranston st. Why is that? Do tell.

Soooo not in anyone’s backyard means we banish these folks to their own commune somewhere in the sticks? Like everywhere that is part of society is “in someone’s backyard”. That’s such a disingenuous thing to say.

What's the solution? You clearly don't want them in your backyard either.

Idk, I don’t pretend to have the solutions to all of society’s ailments. We’ve elected people whose whole job is to lead an organized society. I’ll let them figure it out!

Don’t try and straw man me. I’m an anonymous stranger on the internet. You know nothing about me. Don’t project your gentrifier’s guilt on other people. Look inside and face what you are.
You are clearly not “as liberal as they come”. Just another NIMBY that wants the problem pushed to a place where they don’t have to see it everyday.

Liberal as they come, aka moderate in the eyes of the rest of the world
