Reply to comment by Malapple in Snow Storm by TwoCanSee

I also worked a computer store in the 90s, can confirm. Was always someone who would drive through the snow storm to pick up a BNC connector or a stack of blank CDs

Mystic or Stonington Borough are really your options with that criteria. Cars are primary and public trans doesn't exist in small, wealthy communities like the ones around the shoreline. I would stay at a hotel that has a shuttle to the casinos for night life, and then Uber to beaches during the day. Some of the larger resorts might be able to help coordinate transportation for you.

What happens when the rent isn't enough to cover the cost of upgrades? Taxpayers foot the bill? Who is the state going to hire to run massive apartment complexes? Who pays that salary? Who pays the property tax? Who gets sued when the state inevitably screws something up? This sounds like it hasn't been well thought out.

Honestly it depends on the beer you're into, and where you drink it. The craft brewing scene is fantastic here, with a lot of Belgian style strong heavy beers (7%+ kinda deal). Consequently a pint is usually a small glass of beer which would be like 8-12oz or so. If you drink standard lager, a pint will still be smaller than a UK pint, usually 16oz I think? 470ml or so... Anyway, short story long, I'd budget $7 a beer, plus the 20% tip so $8.50 or so.
