As a Brit living on the shoreline, I think my advice would be the opposite. The shoreline is spread out moreso than New Britain etc, but if the poor bloke came over and just saw New Britain, I’m not sure he’d want to ever return.

I much prefer the shoreline towns, but I’ll admit that the restaurants towards West Hartford/Glastonbury are better.

The Boston shoreline corridor tour and flying in or out of NYC makes the most sense to me. See Boston, Providence, Mystic, maybe New Haven or Greenwich, and then finish in NYC. Or vice versa.

FAKE NEWS: Our super strong gun laws keep everyone safe. This couldn’t be real because we have gun control. Gun control is always the solution we tout after any tragedy happens so I don’t think this is real 🙄/s

Meanwhile a store owner was cucked to 10 rounds vs 2 robbers and now the store owner is in critical condition.

Super accurate, truth gets downvoted in this sub. Lot of people here aren’t educated on the horrors of communism. So they are happy to hand anything off to the government. Despite CT showing they will take a good thing and fuck it up every time.

2 incomes, couple of kids. Earnings fluctuate based on how much the wife wants to work. At the time we bought we were making about $170k maybe. Bought a fixer-upper 2k sqft home in a nice shoreline town 8 years ago for 280k. (This was back before CT had recovered from 2008 pricewise). Sunk another 30k plus blood and sweat into it.

Actually it might be a great way for a landlord to evict troublesome tenants. Let the place fall into disrepair and then since it’s in the state’s possession we wouldn’t have to pay property tax and potentially the mortgage on it. And maybe even keep it in your assets to leverage it to buy a new apartment building in a more free state. Like a government mandated pause.

Insane how willing people are to hand over the government all kinds of freedoms.
