It's that orange sticker on a Narragansett RI house that gets them inflamed! It's BACK!! The 1st Circuit Court of Appeals heard the grievance from the University of Rhode Island students versus the Narragansett RI Town Council on 'branding' of unruly, party homes on house front doors with a 10" x 14" neon orange sticker. I wrote about this lawsuit in April in a post and it finally had it's day in court this week. A court decision is due in a few months.
Since Narragansett RI homes are rented out during the September to May school year to URI students for housing, the 'down the line' parties continue to grow and negatively impact the long term residents in these neighborhoods. Narragansett is a great bay and ocean side community with lots to do and enjoy so quality of life is important here. Neighbors have formed 'walk groups' through their neighborhoods on weekends to do their own policing so they can call the police at any signs of party atmosphere in their backyard.
Now the ACLU has taken up the cause for the URI students believing this branding of orange stickers on party houses is unconstitutional. Owners are levied a 3 tier fine on the house depending on the number of times of an offense. However, it's that orange sticker that has the students upset.
So maybe one of the issues is that the students are not renting in the right area...don't be the sore thumb that sticks out if all the houses around you are year round owners...ask the right questions from your realtor! And perhaps party down a bit might be in order given that your parents are bound to find out!
So in searching for Narragansett RI homes you will want to be sure that you find the right Narragansett RI neighborhood to buy in and a Realtor who does the homework to ensure there are no orange stickers on the Narragansett neighborhood house doors.
Remember the slogan "Not on My house you don't!" - it's that orange sticker on a Narragansett RI house that gets them inflamed and please give me the RI Realtor in the Sparkly Red Shoes a call if you want a Realtor who is in the know.
