They want to pay diver/carpenters nothing. Who cares about the benefits if your paying some 30/hour when the rate is double for the area you SUCK

Reply to Why is Connecticut specifically the coast line so underdeveloped in respect to shopping, housing, and entertainment? by Teslatron2049
It’s all about what rich people want and don’t want and what they want is exclusivity. They don’t want to share with the general public

I'm here for the jobs massive wealth inequality will provide.

Reply to Made in Connecticut: ASML in Wilton is one of the largest semiconductor companies in the world by jaydecay123
Yup! It's pretty incredible how important the company is to worldwide electronics. I looked at working there years ago because the salary was good, but not quite good enough to justify the move to the higher COL area.

I don't see how buying food is relevant to the concept of taking time off when you want to.

Family friend was told she was to limit activity as much as possible towards the end of her pregnancy, they said she was close to needing bed rest. EB gave her a hard time about using the elevator to get to her desk and she wound up quitting because the stairs were too much. That's all I need to know about a company

I’m from west haven, right on the new haven line and while it’s definitely not my scene, I’d also highly recommend new haven area for the nightlife, great restaurants, bars, walkability, train station, etc.

Yeah this one turned out to be something. Last 2 closings were for what ended up being zero snow. Just sucks when kids think they’re going sledding and they look outside and wonder what happened to the white stuff.

Until this morning there was a very real chance that LA would have had more snow than CT this winter

Reply to comment by beachbum1220 in To deal with noncompliant landlords, state rep proposes putting properties in state’s custody until repairs are made by BobbyRobertson
I doubt it; there would be more stigma attached if the government was going after small time landlords like this-makes it seem like the government is going after the little guy just trying to scrape by as opposed to the rich complex owners

Hell yeah, at least make it easier for trials of micodosing during therapy to treat drug resistant depression and anxiety.

Ask your travel agent about Portland, Maine. It is a quintessentially cute New England town on the Atlantic Ocean, not the Long Island Sound which is literally brown murky water.
You can fly into Boston, spend a night or two there, and then take a bus or train 2.5hrs to Portland. Recommend in the summer. It’s very walkable, has great restaurants and bars and breweries, beach, water stuff (fishing and whaling tours, ferry to small islands, etc), museums, etc. It’s a popular local tourist destination, most of Nee England coastline is. I don’t think it’s a popular international destination.

Depends on how long an acceptable train ride is. If you don't want it to be too long then you cannot go wrong with a lot of places in Fairfield County (avoid Stamford, Bridgeport, Norwalk, and Stratford). Thing is your $700,000 isn't going to go too far. If you're OK with a longer commute then anywhere from Guilford through Old Saybrook are good options (minus Clinton and Westbrook). You'll get much more for your money in those towns and the schools are still good. Downside is you're driving to New Haven to get Metro North, taking Shoreline East to get to NH for the same, or grabbing Amtrak from Old Saybrook with no switch overs.
