Top 5 Reasons Trumbull CT is a Great Place to Live

Top 5 Reasons Trumbull CT is a Great Place to Live
Many Very pretty little towns. I’ve lived in Rhode Island most of my life and have driven through almost every municipality in Connecticut numerous times. There are traffic jams all the time and even at 1:00am on a Sunday. There is always highway construction. Always. I will admit, I have stated many times to others “why can’t connecticutt just be removed off the map. Every time I need to go anywhere I have to drive two and a half hours through Connecticut first. What’s it here for?!”
Groton/ New London Area is affordable and good jobs are available in the area
Wealthy people are very happy here. They'll say this video is nonsense. The most privileged people are the most delusional and clueless. Thats a fact. Some of the wealthiest people are truly out of touch with reality. Those are the people that will say that there's no problem with CT. They're also the people who are truly socially disconnected and very rude. The rudest people I've ever encountered are privileged and pampered. Hate me! Truth hurts
People in Connecticut are some of the rudest in the country. Second only to NYC. I was born here. School was hell. Yes, the children are also nasty, but not as bad as the teenagers. With very few exceptions, the high school students were unbelievably rude, self centered, vain, selfish, bigoted, cruel and violent. The adults are no different because they never mature past that stage. So there. Hate me Connecticut! You're good at it!
The roads in Waterbury Connecticut are ridiculous, more damage from pot holes than you could imagine.
1. Run by Communists. 2. Run by Communists 3. Run by Communists 4. Run by Communists 5. Run by Communists 6. Run by Communists 7. Run by Communists Can't build roads to save their life. Why is RT 8 repaved every 16 months? They could not build a solid road bed if you gave DOT 100 trillion dollars. State Senator accepts gifts from CT Communist party. Four Sanctuary cities mean CT will forever be run by Pedo-crats. Look at the 169 towns in CT. Then look which of those towns voted for Trump. Answer: the majority. Does not matter. Rural CT citizens are slaves to the four sanctuary cities.
Democrats...do not move anywhere where the dems outnumber the reps or indies.
Lived in Connecticut my entire life. Alcohol helps.
Ummm...you don't get water from a sewer line.
I’ve always enjoyed drives thru CT state highways, the route to Albany: stops to enjoy countryside ice cream shops ..Arby’s , Three Brothers family restaurant⭐️cool and memorable years of the past
That’s a great way to spend a day! The ice cream shops and the scenery really add to the experience.
We bought on the CT Shoreline, with a water view from my yard and 5 minute walk to the beach, and can hear the waves at night when at high tide. We bought the house for $178,000 (4 bedroom, 2 bath in good shape). 1/3 acre level yard with good neighbors. Highways, shopping, restaurants, etc. close by. That was in 1999. Happy ever since.
Wow! What a deal!!! You made the right decision. The shoreline is beautiful and has given you many years of happiness.
I thought you said you didn't like Connecticut in one of your other videos. ?? I love Connecticut.
@Robert-pg2id hahaha that other video is more just for fun. Just using what the typical complaints are but I love CT! I have tons of videos on towns and things to do around the state.
This is a ridiculous video. Connecticut has a litany of reasons why it's a great place to live. Please modify the Title and tone of this nonsensical video.
😂😂😂
Oh I got a list. I am buying a commercial property, the bank denied the loan. I asked my agent to get my earnest money back and instead of listing the financing feasibility period she listed the non-finance related feasibility period which is apparently invalid because the title company never collected an option fee from me I was unaware I was supposed to pay (they only requested earnest money). So now I am out $11k on a $1MM plus deal thanks to complete incompetence as she told me it can't be fixed other than begging the sellers which they don't care.
@DR-fr7ur that's terrible. I'm sorry you are dealing with this.
My basement in Michigan was cement walls with pocket windows. I used it for laundry plus it had natural shelving because my house was built on a hill. Miss one in my Texas house now and maybe again when I move sometime to CT.
@MotownJT reach out if you move to CT!!
@ definitely.
@@connecticutcoastallife beforehand I will
Tell me what your agent did that really frustrated you?
The Connecticut healthcare system makes sure you live well into your '80s so you can continue to pay taxes before you die.
I appreciate your work and giving people the idea to support local farmers...it's very important...but the Field View Farmer's son, a habitual Drunk Driver killed a women and her teenage daughter 2 weeks before Christmas in 2001..destroying what was left of a family that already delt with enough trauma....Kathy and Brittany will NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!!
The people in CT are the worst drivers.
I’m alr in thee it’s good
Boy, you like to complain, don't you??
My, my, you like to complain, don't you?
It’s a beautiful town
@edwardwhitbread1838 it really is beautiful. So close to everything but it is quiet and serene.
my gr andmother lived down there for a few years//its tweed newhaven airport that is not good/to many plane crashes RIGHT THROUGH A HOME AND KILLED TWO CHILDREN/get RID OF TWEED//
@florencecavallaro4599 I'm so sorry to hear about this impact that Tweed has had on the area. I have heard they are expanding and creating new terminals now. Let's hope they do something about the noise and make it safer for the homes in the area as well.
The great things about moving to, and living in Connecticut is the fact you can live happy, balanced lives and raise your family here with fantastic convenience to shopping, restaurants, history (True First In Flight in Bridgeport Connecticut in 1901 with Gustave Whitehead who flew 2 years before the Wright Brothers, confirmed by Jane's Aviation Standard) and the invention of the submarine in New London Connecticut (now where they BUILD Submarines for the Navy), Art Museums, is the ease of employment. Despite the national movement of manufacturing overseas, Connecticut is still sought after as a "go to" location for manufacturing. My Colleagues in a certain industry describe Connecticut as a "Mecca" for manufacturing and a NYC News Reporter described Connecticut, when covering a weather story, as "a big park". That's quite a compliment from a NYC News Reporter living in an over run & over crowded City. (Which of course also NYC has many things deserving of compliments and notoriety).
@JohnKSedor thank you for your great attitude about Connecticut. I agree that it's a wonderful place to live and seems to get the "it's boring" label too often. There are so many amazing things about CT. I love it when I hear positive feedback about our home state.
Agreed, life is what you make out of it most of the time. There's history, shopping, restaurants, Award winning hotels, theaters, Sports Teams, Amusement parks, Airports and a lot more. The nicest thing is you are also close to even bigger cities like NYC and Boston, you can enjoy what they have there and then go back home in 1 - 2 hours drive. You don't have to live in the mess of NYC or Boston.
BS, totally WOKE schools.
Friend of mine had a boutique shop in Branford.
@MotownJT do they no longer have it? Where was it? I'd love to hear about it.
@ loved boutique. Off of 95. Turned right on Main Street about a block away from some supermarket. They shut down the actual shop. Also, I kayaked the Saugatuck in Westport At Bridgeport marina.
@ you can shop only online now. It was off of Main Street between the freeway and the supermarket. Shop online and tell Isa that you were recommended by me.
Her sister owns Around the Rosy in Westport
I am a Stratford resident for 45 years, taxes are ridiculous for what is offered, $475 to flush a toilet, I first moved here it was $45 dollars, house taxes were $1,300, now almost $7,000. Schools scores are down from what they should be, a lot of over paid employees and a few underpaid employees (Blue collar) ! Turning into a Yuppie Haven, no good Trade Workers here ! The Army Plant should have remained in the government hands and be repurposed for other military operations, nope another waste of land !!!
Life is what you make it, sometimes people's reaction to us is a mirror of what we project as a personality. I've lived and raised my family in Connecticut and between how convenient everything is, the mild climate, easy access to resturants, museums, healthcare and sporting events (4 Race Tracks, 2 are NASCAR & the other is frequented by Movie Stars/Lime Rock Raceway), the State runs it's own High Schools which you have to qualify to get in, and you graduate with a State License in a Trade such as Nursing, Machinist, etc.), and Connecticut's very rich History such as the true First In Flight by Gustave Whitehead who flew in 1901, in Bridgeport Connecticut, 2 years before the Wright Brothers did, birthplace of President Bush, Charles Goodyear (Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co.), Connecticut is truly an easy and convenient State to live in and raise a family. (Oh, and there's 8 Vineyards some of which have won awards, the Apple crop is famous, and Connecticut is home to famous Yale University, National winning Teams as UCONN Men & Women's Teams and National Hockey Champs at Quinnipiac University in Hamden, CT....shall I go on?)

I live and west haven
I grew up in Connecticut, moved to Florida 10 years ago and now I would love to go back. If you are not a redneck, don’t come to Florida.
Connecticut actually doesn’t have very high housing costs compared to other places. as somebody who moved there, you could get a townhouse for 700k in Cali (where i used to live) whereas in Connecticut you could get a regular, updated home.
@m0th._paws0 I agree. California is one of the states that definitely has higher housing costs. That's why CT is a great option for those west coast people looking to move here. 😀
@ oh that’s good! i remember before I moved there I heard about the housing costs and I was like “not again”
Well, a a 1200 sq ft cape on a slab just sold for $750,000 in Milford. Sure it's 2 blocks from the beach, but it was on 1/4 acre, no privacy.
Very helpful 🙏
@pamelamarie137 great! I'm so glad you got some good info from this video
I am selecting a place to move to and am considering CT. So I am wondering what public services you refer to?
A lot more than other locations in the US, especially those other areas might be overwhelmed by their mountains, ridiculous wilderness or swamps. Sorry to sound a bit much, but if you're going to live somewhere, you'll be needing services and convenience without being "overun" or too much. That's Connecticut. And lots of theaters, sports, colleges, vineyards, restaurants, history, museums and scenic areas to boot, all within easy reach without having to take a journey somewhere.
@@Robert-pg2id " those other areas might be overwhelmed by their mountains, ridiculous wilderness " I'm moving to NH for the mountains, ridiculous wilderness. I might drive back to Ct once a month for the pizza. After that, you can keep Commieland CT.
I moved from CT to Northern Florida - I had three very interesting conversations with strangers today, if you want that in CT that might happen over the course of three years.
Im moving to CT early next year. This video was helpful!
Please reach out to me. I’d love to help! ☺️
@pamelamarie137 please reach out. I'd love to help you when you move.
