Reply to Train station safety around midnight? by AdNormal7071

Tons of people arrive on every train. The station and area around it are safe, and there are usually a few people walking from the station to the Yale campus and downtown area after each train.

If the weather sucks, or if you are carrying valuables and are walking around the city at like 2am, then you might want to do the cab to get to where you're going. There is also a free public bus that runs from the train station through the downtown and back though I'm not sure the schedule. Overall though, I wouldn't worry too much, just stick to the main, well-lit streets where there are other people around if it's very late at night.

Because the area has improved so much over the past decade or so, people are building giant luxury apartment blocks and high-end laboratory towers in this area, so there are some construction sites that you may want to use caution around due to sidewalk closures and such.

I second this. My cat recently passed but I have been going to them with her for years. I dreaded going when she was older but they explained her options from Most to least expensive and let me chose. They were caring and sensitive and I loved the servies there.

Reply to Landlord not dealing with maintenance requests by TheTurquoisePen

File complaints with the city (LCI). You have to wait 21 days before filing a complaint with the court. The housing inspectors in New Haven are a useless crop, and their management is even worse, but you must have the documentation to actually force action via the courts. Good luck. My experience in this town has been nothing short of a nightmare.

I’ve really appreciated the vets I’ve worked with at Veterinary Wellness Center of New Haven. Perhaps pricy, but they’ve been very accommodating and have provided great care for my dog who has battled two infections in the last 3 months.

Reply to New Haven Wi-Fi by robbnthehood282

Might want to look into your router, either replacing it or changing the settings. You don’t get “Wi-Fi” service from xfinity, they give you internet through a wire and the router puts off a Wi-Fi bubble, the same way you don’t get “cordless phone service” from the phone company, they just give you service to your house and you plug in your cordless phone which handles the wireless part.

Especially if you live in an apartment or crowded area there are probably many other routers around you. They work on channels and if a lot of people are using close to the same channel they interfere with each other. So you should go into your router settings check things out. If it has a 2.4ghz radio and a 5g radio sometimes connecting to the 5g instead will help…but it doesn’t go through walls quite as well if you have a big place or brick walls or anything like that.

I couldn't agree more! I have found him to be incredibly thoughtful and incisive, and my pets have given him so real challenges over the years! I also find his techs to be incredibly competent and caring.
