You think?

I got New London from the CT. Gov town establishment website

That plaza is just a fucking alleyway with astro turf and bar patios, who gives a shit?

Fuck man, it's a city not a national park.

I upvoted everybody who said “New Haven” because I wanted to support those who were correcting OP. Then I realized this isn’t r/Connecticut, it’s the New Haven subreddit facepalm

We will rebuild

There is a large apartment complex on Mix that has ongoing hot water and heat issues, not sure which one. Honestly I would go downtown or No Haven over Mix, too many stolen cars and shopping on Dixwell is problematical with ongoing purse grabbings, car jackings etc

Those black posts are all lamps, or were. The white things on the ground is the bulb housing.

Every single one in the plaza is like this, there are like 8 more not in the picture.

A bit of trash on the ground?

Don’t sweat that. I always appreciate your thoughts…

Fair Haven Heights is east of the Quinnipiac River, and there's a big hill thus the Heights

Actually, lots of social media of crowds as part of another organized bar crawl right by there. I believe outside party-organizers running these things holiday-themed. Wouldn’t be surprised if Town Green District people lead an effort to restrict them soon.

Ahh

It’s a city, that is to be expected. People gotta live somewhere.

That’s a unfair oversimplification of things I’ve said and I’ve certainly never said that there is no gentrification happening in the city. Development in a city is complicated and multifaceted and if I’ve talked about it, it’s been primarily around downtown development and my desire to see vacant lots turned into buildings. Which I think is a good thing for everyone, in every neighborhood. And yeah no shit, it benefits my business to have more people living in walking distance around it and less sketchy vacant lots.

And not that I feel the need to really get deep into it here, but you seem to be wildly off base about my overall politics. I’d love to see every property in the city be owner occupied or part of a renters co-op. I’m actively anti-capitalist and think corporations should be abolished with most things being treated as public utilities. For example, I’m the lowest paid out of anyone at Elm City Games and recently converted the design studio I (now used to) own into a worker owned co-op, elevating everyone (previously) working for me to an equal partner. But I also think pragmatically and recognize that in the actual real world we exist in right now, it’s not worker co-ops constructing 400 unit apartment buildings over neglected vacant lots.

Also what a weird place to try and call me out for something?

All the Havens are ass. East, West, North. No haven for anyone

It’s New Haven—

Lol 😂 ok

Cool little fact: Haven means safe harbor. New Haven, new safe harbor.

Other cool little fact: Lobsters were so abundant that they were fed to prisoners.

Newington, duh.

Cake

Stay safe !

Hard hittin"

There’s obviously more than just the one picture, but I just got off the bus and wanted to get the fuck home.

Fuck the Rize crowd. Bunch of literal children.

Definitely New Fairfield
