Things I don't really like about NH is that you can't even look on r/newhaven without a single Reddit post about a crime that was committed. Things I do like about it is that there are more Mexicans and Puerto-Ricans then actual Europeans and White people(I'm African-American so I definitely know this.)

I know you got your anwer, but for anyone searching here in the future: Dependable came to my house on a holiday weekend when we ran out. The tech had to come and work on the tank since it had run completely out. I felt terrible and so thankful that they did that. It was also during the first pandemic winter 😩

Maple syrup from a connecticut location. Maybe buy something at a farmers market from a local farmer? A bic razor! A pez toy if you can find one. A subway sandwich (they are based in Milford). A Stanley tool product? (Based in new Britain)

Edit - go to guilford and get something from bishops orchards - they make a lot of baked goods they make and sell on site. At least guilford is still in New Haven county!

Not you personally I meant the sub in general. Most Americans are apathetic about the government taking ever increasing amounts of money and freedom from them. But when it comes to this one thing, Americans get very angry; they start to organize against any efforts to build low cost housing in their neighborhood. Look at the zoning laws and building codes. You can’t live in a trailer even if you own the land. Starter homes have effectively been outlawed by the zoning laws and building codes. Most Americans want it to stay this way.
