I’m in what’s considered fair haven and it’s not terrible but there are bad areas just as there are bad areas everywhere. Grand avenue is like the Bronx, it’s mostly Hispanic people and stores. I stay away only because it’s crazy there. Music blasting, people running out in the street in front of you without looking, people everywhere asking for money

I’ve been here only for a few months and I love it. Feels like home for the first time in a long time.

That looks like a few pieces of litter. IDEAT has done worse...and picked up after ourselves.

Cosigned for burning hearts in Hamden

Sure, either walk around drunk or brain dead.

The commute really wouldn't be that bad

New Haven and fair haven did used to be much worse. In the 90s and early 2000’s crime was pretty bad. It’s completely turned around now I’d say since 2012-2015. But you’ll still hear the boomers talk about how “dangerous” it is cuz they watch the news all day. This area in the city is awesome. NHV is hands down the best city in CT

Both are inferior to 🍄

Burning Hearts in Hamden has two reputable piercers. I’d go there first.

Lol if you have to ask don't bother

tf is rize?

What is New Haven?

Yes I'm sure no other generation destroyed public property outside a night club..

If this destruction was on top of easy rock where there aren't 20 establishments over serving people for profit I might see your point.

We need some fuckin rec dispensaries already

Yeah I have and sadly. Like the rest of their generation, they think they can do anything they want and not face consequences.

"Supposed to occur". That right there is the problem. No respect for other people's belongings. I hope they get caught and get arrested. They should be made to clean up and pay for the destruction.

Jeez, don't people know it's possible to party and not be total jerks?

That's awful. I know right where that area is - used to walk through every once in a while. Sorry to anyone who has to deal with the repercussions.

This is so sad. Temple plaza is actually a nice place to chill in good weather when it's not actively being destroyed by the nightclub scene

Everyone knows that "Ington" means 'whale vagina.' /s

...is a lie!

(also happy cake!)

A massive hurricane hitting at high tide isn't that likely at all, but possible. The Sound offers some protection over the open ocean, but very low lying areas are definitely at risk if it happens.

Have you met drunk 22 year olds?

Considering what just happened in Seoul I think it's rather tame and in the area this type of behavior is supposed to occur.

Seems like an insignificant thing to bitch about but hey this is the internet after all.

Just hope OP avoids downtown the Sunday before March 17th.

Nightclub is def gonna get raided and shut down

Got to listen to this carnage from like noon to 3am yesterday … plaza honestly looked better than I thought it would this AM

I get the feeling that a lot of the negative posts are people who are uncomfortable in ethnic spaces.
