From a Warwick Beacon Article form March 2011, Titled: City population drops 3,136.

"With a population of 82,672, Warwick has a fingernail grip as the state’s second largest city, according to 2010 Census figures released last week.

Since the 2000 Census, Warwick’s population dropped 3,136 while its upcoming neighbor and the state’s third largest city, Cranston, grew by 1,118 for a total of 80,387.

Warwick’s population hit a high water mark of 87,123 in the 1980 Census....

Chief of staff and former city planner Mark Carruolo attributes Warwick’s loss of population to three major factors: acquisition of 300 homes by the Rhode Island Airport Corporation during the 10 years; declining tracts of land for new housing; and an aging population resulting in fewer people living in a dwelling unit as children move out. Another factor is the number of vacant homes reflective of the recession and increased foreclosures."

Markyc, I would have added, "People move out when they feel they are paying much more for Taxes but are getting much less services.", but hey, what do I know.

You do go on to blame the schools for spending too much because we have 3 Jr High Schools and 3 High Schools. Surprisingly, you make no mention of the additional $30 Million annually collected from taxpayers. Surprise, Surprise, Surprise! Tell me again how the schools should plan better? Enlighten us on the wonderful city planning.

How are the repairs going on the essential clock tower at city hall going?
