It's amazing what happens when states actually focus on their communities and try to address the socioeconomic factors that are the real contributors to violence.
That said, MA has similar issues with juvenile crime like CT does, so there's still a lot of work to be done.There were a lot of assaults around South Station in Boston over the past year all carried out by kids.

I see so many people explaining how solar helped them in January, if I generated 15 kW a day in January that was a great day. Things are already starting to turn around and production is moving towards enough to cover a whole days worth of consumption but man, November to January are sad production months for me.

$384; electric heat (efficient heat pump mini-split installed 2020), 1275 square foot log cabin with open loft, LOTS of gaming electronics and computers courtesy of my son. Twice what it was in 2021.

$384. Oil heat, 2 people, a solar array, and 1200 sq feet. I have no idea how it’s so goddamn high, there’s a nonzero chance the well pump never kicks off and needs replacing.

I’m confused why is it 320? How much energy are you using. How big are your solar panels?

Was checking inventory last night across CT, what I bought before is still sold out and can't afford the jump in prices after Rec opening up.
I'm about to spend 2hrs spewing pollution across CT for the privilege of giving MA my money, good job guys!

Agreed. Many parts of CT are pretty suburban. Neither urban nor rural. You’ll need a car to drive places, lots of residential housing, etc.

Most towns in CT surrounding Hartford will meet your requirements of 1-3. There are plenty of other towns like Windsor, Manchester, Rocky Hill that also has a good amount of rental options for young working professionals.
Your ask on urbanization is not easily going to be met. Imo even West Hartford isn’t comparable to what most would think of as a “City”. Perhaps downtown New Haven would be as close as you can get in CT and be within reasonable hybrid commuting to Hartford.

No, A-1 in Florence not Chicopee.
As teens we used to hang out at Village all the time while growing up there (80s-90s). That was back when Gus was still running it. Now it's his son John's place.

To my fellow patients: Contact your state representatives and tell them you're counting on their support for HB5539.

Village Pizza in Easthampton is a very solid pizza. I'm glad to see they've still survived the gentrification of what used to be such a nice small town.
You say A1(in Chicopee) is owned by the same people? I haven't had great success in Chicopee finding a good Pizza and A1 is one of the spots I still haven't tried. Everything has been hit or miss.

After I saw a house float away from Reef Road in Fairfield after Irene, I'd never buy property within 5 miles of the coast.

Unfortunately there is pretty much no medical device industry to speak of in Connecticut.
We have seven medical device categories on our business list here: https://biopharmguy.com/biotech-company-directory.php On each list you can scroll to the CT companies and see the few that operate in CT. Probably a better method than browsing a big list of all the CT companies where most are not device.
