If the Long Island sound was land all the way to Long Island, there’s be more people. Given there’s water, there isn’t enough population to support the development. You need numbers to spur investment.

my friends and I would practice evasive maneuvers in the snow in a private parking lot. We'd purposely spin and slide the car and do what was necessary to get out of the slide or spin. was great fun and educational.

I wish we would get something like this like a day or two before Christmas and then that's it.

Cause it is, it’s just the sound.

Or a sound, if you will.

Reply to comment by investment-biker in The National Weather Service issued a Winter Storm Warning for our area 6:00pm Monday to 6:00pm Tuesday. Heavy snow and some sleet along coastal sections. Total accumulations of 5 to 8 inches. Travel could be very difficult. Hazardous conditions could impact commutes. by senatorduff
if its just a small flurry, yes pre salting will help. but, if its a full snow storm its a waste of time and money because it will be over whelmed with snow and melt underneath doing nothing or will be shoveled or plowed into a snow bank and have to salt again. if you dump a lot in one area it may work.

There's not much to it to begin with, just wondering where the attraction is, no waves, real beaches, its like living next to a bay.

Reply to To deal with noncompliant landlords, state rep proposes putting properties in state’s custody until repairs are made by BobbyRobertson
Why state has to take over and fix it? Why can't the landlord be forced to fix it? Are health codes not a thing?

Kind of a similar situation as me. Two incomes, bought a house 12 years ago for 225k. We’ve put in about 40k worth of improvements. House is now worth about 350 with the recent increases in value which we find pretty shocking as it isn’t the biggest. We now have two little kids and had planned to move in summer 2020 to a bigger place but with the pandemic we got stuck here. Thankfully our place had been paid off since 2018 and the idea of having a huge mortgage is a major turn off so we are waiting to see how things play out over the next few years.

Since I heard Rice a Roni, I'll tell y'all a secret. Get a rotisserie chicken, pick all the meat off, and toss it in the pan when you put the water in. Easy peasy chicken and rice! Some stores even have just the chicken, already picked off. Even easier!

That's pretty much the average for entry-level positions in trades right now.

You’ll quickly find out why Connecticut isn’t much of a tourist destination. I’ve had British people tell me CT is the state that reminds them the most of home so it might not even seem exotic to you. I love it here but I enjoy it’s quaint nature and lack of excitement

My wife and I make about $125k combined per year. We bought a house for 244k about 5 years ago. 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bath. I have an excellent credit score (~800) so the loan is solely in my name however her name is on the title. I had been saving for a down payment from age 22-27 and then we bought our house with 20% down when I was 28. I was able to save 10k plus a year as a single guy but now our per year combined savings is only 5k max, during Covid “lockdown” we had negative savings for the year

Reply to 26F it’s hard making friends as an adult… struggling and interested in making a connection. by [deleted]
My wife and I moved up to Norwalk 12 years ago and now live in Stratford. As a married couple with no kids and no dogs it has been extremely difficult to meet people. The only place I've had great success is at group Fitness (F45 specifically). The people might be cold initially to the new person, but if you stick with it eventually you will make new friends. I have social anxiety and I was/am still able to make new friends once I got comfortable with my surroundings. Don't rush it.
