Frank Pepe’s. The thin crisp crust makes it.

It's true the longer commute whomever has it, should be by train.

Large amount of renters. Also a lot of college kids.

Schools probably not so good.

Rent seems about average for central ct area

It’s centrally located that’s what draws people here and it costs less than Hartford?

It’s not a bad spot to live but not a great spot. Been here 5 years so far and I’m ready to move somewhere quieter.

If it's just a few bucks, no.

I see that so it def wouldn’t be a good place for families who have kids in the school system.

Hmm something isn’t right here… it seems they don’t have a way to properly account for states that don’t levy flat fees. NH is listed as $31, which is absolute bullshit. NH registration is scaled to the value of the car (literally like a property tax). When my fiancé lived there, she paid ~$500 per year for a three year old car valued around $17k. Even her previous car, a ten year old Subaru valued around $8k was costing her $200 a year in registration.

All this to say…they simply did an average and “forgot” many people don’t own cars…

Ehh, still got a ways to go

Crime can happen any where but in Newington it seems to happen more often. another armed car jacking

Most people on this sub are from white privileged neighborhoods anyways. Y’all love to preach about shit but you’ve never stepped foot in the hood.

I mean the tax people want to be able to track you down right?

Train

Middlebury would be a decent choice. I used to make the drive to Hartford from there daily and it's not terrible. You can catch a train in Naugatuck to Bpt and then direct to NYC.

New Britain is one of those places you CAN live in but do everything in your power not to. Crime going down but the school system is still turning many families away

Hahaa that’s all?

Lol why the lmao?

It's terrible. Even if you were driving with absolutely no traffic, it's still 60 miles one way. By train it's at least 90 minutes one way. From Fairfield it's a terrible, but doable, commute, never mind two more towns up the line.

Did this guy feature on a billboard in Hartford visible from the interstate around 2005-2007 ish? I have a memory of driving by a billboard featuring a high school football star but I don't remember who it was exactly.

lmao

1-I pay about $850/yr for my now 5 year old, plain jane pickup which is way more than regeneration fees anywhere, and 2-We also pay fees on top of the taxes.

Stamford would be your best bet. You would be shaving off at least 30 min of train time (or more if you catch the express). But the cost of living is much higher there than in Stratford. So you have to weigh your pros and cons. Would you be commuting every day? If not, you can get away with Stratford.

Right....or property tax a town might assess 🤔

I love Middletown. Routes 9 and 91 are your friends. Somebody did say you could get Amtrak nonstop out of Berlin or Wallingford. AND it’s FAR better than any commute that involves I-84 during rush hour. But I suspect that Berlin, Wallingford or West Hartford itself would be best. I-84 will just lead to Murder or a divorce - especially if she has to drive from anywhere west of Waterbury! 🤣

On top of this, the state has taken in how much completely free casino revenue?

And our finances are still in the toilet.

Great fiscal management. Great voting.

Would it be worth it moving to Norwalk or stamford or would those not make a significant difference

I’d say anything down the i91 corridor south of Cromwell. You can take express train into city from New Haven. She can avoid Hartford traffic by going up Route 9. Depends on how long you’re willing to drive to New Haven.
