I moved out of RI after living there for 25 years. It ain't like it used to be. You're best off trying to stay away from the city areas and the surrounding spaces. The bad apples tend to keep themselves busy by wrecking nice things. I built a huge garden in my back
yard and somebody wrecked it one night after they failed to kick in my door while I was away. The
boot prints on the door matched the ones on my melons. That was in Providence. I had a nosey neighbor in East Providence that would knock on my door as soon as he was done cutting his lawn, asking me to please cut mine so they were at even height. He even went out in my lawn and cut the
dandelions before they went to seed. I had better luck in some of the more isolated areas of the western and southern areas of the state. Most areas are building up so fast and the general attitude of the people has gone pretty sour over the last ten years so unless you're out in the sticks (few sticks left in RI) think about the security of your animals. Mostly from predatory people. That's what's driven me and a lot of young farmers away from RI. That and the cost of living. god forbid you have to cross the bridge. Tolls have gone from a dollar to four dollars just to cross the Newport bridge. AHHHHHHH!!!
