do you have a photo of this person? maybe some of us in the area could post it to facebook. i realize posting someone's photo without their permission on reddit is A Whole Thing, but it could also be a major help in locating the guy, so i'm torn. what does everyone else think about this?

I’ve talked to the police already, but they are limited in what they can do. There also may be issues of addiction which make him skittish with the police. The last of his family recently passed away and I live out of state and have inherited responsibility for him. Just hoping some people may have info that would be of use.

You absolutely dont need a car living in wooster square lol its 5mins walk from downtown. The entire neighborhood is like 3/4mi by 1/2mi

*edit: you dont need one just to get to the shops and restuarants and bars downton. New Haven is very compact and easily the most walkable city in CT despite the insane traffic

I think anything around Edgewood Park in New Haven is best right now. East Rock and Wooster Square have gotten super pricey. Lots of brand new apartment buildings in addition to the nice, old apartments. The part of Wooster Square I lived in had way more petty crime and the rent was much higher. Car rifled through if unlocked, packages stolen, and anything outside that wasn’t nailed down vanished.
Edgewood area is a decent trade off; you’re on the grittier side of downtown, away from trendy restaurants and grocery stores, but it’s still really close to downtown and much more affordable. You can get everything you need somewhere on Whalley Avenue, though it is one of the worst streets in the city. There’s a new cycle track on Edgewood Ave that is handy for cyclists. There is some petty crime, varies from block to block, but it’s a population more reflective of the city, so you don’t feel like you’re in a bubble. I prefer that, but some folks might just say it’s louder and less safe. And my pumpkin hasn’t been stolen (yet..).

I will get a car, I’m okay with studios too, I’m okay with North Haven / Hamden as well. Mostly looking for a community kind of apartment

It's very difficult to find a good 1BR apt for that price range in downtown....east rock might be cheaper. Good areas to live are downtown (close to bars, restaurants), east rock (peaceful, clean), science hill, Wooster square(if you have a car)
