      Ct it self I don't habe a problem with ..the government running it and making taxes out of taxes out of taxes and a 10 million dollar research on useless tolls and you can't afford to make a living there any more that's what sucks ..theres very few middle class and those that are at least half are barely getting by..i was born and raised there my entire life well minis two yrs as a teenager ..so yes the state in it self is great though he is right it is kind a boring..the government part sucks ..wheres all this money someone should do a good lengthy audit on the Govenor and all that he runs ..and while they are at it throw in eversource in part of their investigation

Now in 2018...Unemployed for over a year, I live with my sister as I can't afford to live anywhere else. Traffic? Why is that not on this list? Yea it sucks here, and I can't wait to leave again and NEVER return!

    i have lived in ct my whole life. i dream of leaving. soon. its sad, because it is actually a naturally beautiful state. but the state has been destroyed by bad political policy over the last 30 years. we used to have many great companies here, Pfizer, GE, most of the firearms industries were founded here, we have Pratt and Whitney, we used to have Hamilton Standard, Stanley Tools used to manufacture in New Britain , Goodyear Tire was founded in Naugatuck, ct. etc. The question is why have all these world class innovative industries left ct? i know times change but geez ! You can say the same about a lot of New England, as far as world class innovative industries going bust and folding up, Detroit (not in new england) is the same .WHY? its policy, regulation, etc. Ct. had the world's largest thread manufacturer , AMERICAN THREAD CO. in Willimantic, ct. gone. Great Northern Paper Co. , worlds largest was in Millinocket, Maine, gone. Why? thread and paper are still made, in fact they are billion dollar industries world wide, but now they are made in Pakistan, Malaysia, indonesia, etc...

Not learning from your mistakes, you guys move here and vote for the same type of big government tax and spend socialist democrats

    • @Administrator_In_Training

      I also moved from Queens to CT 19 years ago and it's never felt like home to me. The people are different, a trip to Walmart is like a highschool reunion everyone knows eachother and everyone is in every one else's business. This state is also for rich people and coming from NY, I agree there isn't that much to do in terms of the state being boring. NY is non stop it can be 3am and you can still find something to do. I'm hoping to move when I'm done with school. My cousin just moved out of CT due to the same issues. I don't know but it just seems like a dead end.

      I’m a CT native, lived there for +30 years, I’ve lived in a number of other places and live in San Jose CA currently. I love CT, but can also corroborate a good portion of this list, all except the boring part. Being bored is a personally intrinsic deficiency, it has nothing to do with where you live or activity availability. You could have the fckng olympics in you’re back yard and be bored (and boring). I accrued a ton of cool hobbies and was a part of a number of communities with rad folks in CT, so I call BS on that one.

      Yah! My elementary school was like all the school having assemblies for kindness and stuff and said that we should all be friends and the teachers actually cared 4 bullying and barely noticed 'the having ur hood up at school is banned' rule. Also the air always smells like cowpoop in the summer and there's a lot of farms there. Also the town I live in is really nice, like this one time an old lady fell out of the car of her car and was struggling to get up and I pointed it out and my dad was like "we're going to help her forget school we need to help." and so my dad helped her and a bunch of people saw and helped her like they were like "we were doing something…oh well the lady's more important we need to help" and soon a whole crowd was helping her and someone called the ambulance and she is fine I think. But like that day was super wholesome. (I live in CT) this was way too long

    My perspective of Connecticut (Middletown specifically, right in the middle of the state):
    Pros:
    - Pretty weather for 2/3 of the year, especially fall
    - Good restaurants
    - Great hiking
    - Pretty scenery
    - Not far from Boston and New York
    - Great rural/organic products because of so many farms
    - If there is something exciting going on in Connecticut, it is small so it can't be far away
    Cons:
    - Winter is a bitch
    - Terrible economy
    - High taxes
    - People here are really rude
    - Not much to do, unless you travel to a city

    I love living in Connecticut and working in Hartford. Despite the ineffective government and high taxes, there's plenty to do here and the quality of life is amazing. The reason I work is so I can enjoy the the abundant mountain biking, hiking, boating, lakes, and the shore. And yes we have real oceanfront and beautiful beaches. The variety of food in non-chain establishments is extensive and you can't find better seafood anywhere else in the world. There's also tremendous culture and history throughout the state. When family and friends visit they are always impressed with the region and they can't wait to return. New England weather is burley, but the constant changing of seasons presents new opportunities and the contrast can be spectacular! And if your're not satisfied with what we have in our own backyard, it's a short drive to NYC, Boston, Vermont, or New Hampshire.

    • @sabbur15
      @sabbur15 6 років тому +4

      Jennifer, Litchfield = 27.70 mills, Farmington = 27.18 mills, Salisbury = 11.30 mills. The 'cookie cutter' 3 bedroom/2 bath in Litchfield would pay roughly $6300 per year, in Farmington roughly $7700 per year, and in Salisbury roughly $13,000 per year.
      Rough values of house prices pulled from 3 bedroom/2 bathroom houses CURRENTLY available on the MLS, and assumed all assessed values are 70% of market value.

The most relevant part of the state is the casinos and that XL Center. Oh yeah and we have Yale but that didnt change much. I want out.

South Norwalk is gorgeous and full of bars too. Greenwich is where you’ll find some of the most money in the world, and Darien is literally the richest per capita town in the country. There’s beautiful lakes and woods, and construction is happening everywhere to expand the area.
