    Waterbury is ranked one of the worst places in the country to live. What this video fails to explain is that all of the cities listed as the worst places to live were once booming industrial areas with plenty of employment opportunities and little or no unemployment per capita..... BUT, then came the 1980’s wave of outsourcing American industry abroad to Mexico & Asia, and with the jobs went the quality of living because people had no livelihoods to provide for their families, so for the last 30 years there’s people who have fallen into the generational welfare trap in these areas. Without corporations to pay state taxes, the state raised personal property taxes (land, cars, etc) to some of the highest rates in the U.S. Also with rising unemployment, crime and drug abuse is also on the rise. The U.S. government didn’t take a stand to protect our jobs and industry. No jobs, and no insurance either in the state that was once the insurance capital of the world. So now you can plainly see the reason for the number of depressed areas. It’s sad but true....

    CT isn't all bad. The Northwest and Northeast corners are beautiful. The coastline is really nice too. There is great food, especially Italian. New Haven has the best pizza in the world. The main problems are that the cost of living is ridiculous, the weather sucks most of the time and a lot of the people are stuck up. The traffic is horrendous, especially on 95 between Stamford and New Haven. It's a big rat race and everyone is more concerned with keeping up with the Joneses than actually enjoying life. This state sucks your money and soul away until you become a broke, empty shell just trudging along, trying to keep your head above water, praying that you'll be able retire with some semblance of dignity and not end up in the projects eating cat food until you die of mesothelioma.

Really sad that many parts of America look like a third world county. Poverty, hunger, crime and high unemployment. This just should not happen in a country that is as wealthy as the United States. :-(

    Windham=Willimantic close enough. Everyone of these cities has seen better days but there are some very good parts in each of these cities. There are numerous amazing Victorians in Windham, Meriden has many beautiful neighborhoods on the East side and on many of the hills on the West side, it doesn't get much more impressive than the Shuttle Meadow area of New Britain and it has a great hospital and American Art Museum and C.C.S.U and all the good neighborhoods in that general area, Hartford's Elizabeth Park might be the most beautiful park in the country, and the area around it is gorgeous. What happened? Politicians from both parties allowed big business to not only outsource millions of American jobs overseas to slave labor but also gave them tax breaks to do it. Now Trump is giving the businesses/super wealthy classless even more money to allow them to stow away loads of money in overseas banks and buy properties in places like Costa Rica, Dominican Republican, Nicaragua, etc. Most people who have 50 million want to have 80 million, it's a never ending cycle of greed that brought these cities down, not immigrants, or minorities, or laziness from the citizenry.
