I've lived in the west end all of my life. That's about the best area you're going to be in for Hartford. Tons of students live in those 2/3 family apartments, a few really diverse bars and restaurants on Farmington Ave/Whitney St intersection. Elizabeth park down the block and of course you can walk to Uconn Law quickly. Never had an issue walking anywhere around that area by myself.

Took a look at the map on google. Looks like a pretty nice neighborhood away from where most of the scary stuff happens. It’s also very close to the Hartford/West Hartford line. It’s super close to Elizabeth Park too which is a beautiful park.

CT has more than its fair share of the stupidly courteous drivers. I had one in front of me come to a complete stop at a green light anticipating the yellow.

Saw someone the other day stop in the middle of a traffic circle. Dead stop. Traffic backed up behind him while he’s just obliviously waving people on in front of him.

I appreciate the nudge, I joined the dashcam sub some time ago while researching them but need to get around to it. I’ll still worry about the idiots though bc I love my car and people and dog…

Get a dashcam. Viofo dashcam can be had for $100. Installing is a easy as sticking it to your windshield and plugging it into outlet. And you never have to worried about idiots.

Oh for sure. If you marry a millionaire and get divorced you shouldn't get half of it because you're used to the millionaire life.

He spoke words. He didn't burn villages and/or rape the women.

What’s the difference of having bad elected officals in a county and a city ??? It’s all in the people that are voted in the issue isn’t the county system it’s the people that get elected

It's impossible to justify the creations of a capitalist system with socialist explanations.
If we're talking about just a social safety net, and making sure every human being has housing provided as a human right, mcmansions are fine as long as everyone has access to some form of reasonable housing.
The only objection would be that mcmansions are generally wasteful and not built to last.

You're saying that his family would suffer with regards to the loss of his income?
It was Ill got an income from the get-go. If they stood by him and accepted money that they knew was from lies that were tearing people's lives apart, I have no sympathy for Alex Jones's family.
