Hi! Would you mind defining "global population crisis?" I've seen reporting about overpopulation, but also stories of communities where populations are aging rapidly without enough young people to sustain them.

I saw him play QB at UConn years back. Kid was actually legit. I was pumped when the Patriots drafted his brother…. Lol

Thank you! Where I am now, I've had to go to small local stores so I didn't even think about looking in the large chains.

I mean as far as state statistics go that’s very reassuring! But we’re looking to move from a more rural area to a more urban one so it’s going to be an increase either way. I’m sure there’s crime here but it isn’t much. Unfortunately, Memphis makes up an inordinate amount of the state’s crime statistics and we’re not near there. Anyway, that does all make me feel better about it in general though so I appreciate it!

Stop and shop, Walmart, probably big y all sell some sort of fresh food. I think there’s a place on rt 63 middlebury/Naugatuck line that is a higher end pet supply place. It’s on the left before Maggie McFlys if your coming from Naugatuck

Are either you or your partner going to be commuting?
If you're not familiar with CT, some towns that are close together can be challenging to get between based on direction and time of day.
If you guys are remote, then I would just look for the town with the best school system you can afford. Can always drive to Milford or Norwalk or Stamford for that more urban feel.

Hospitals are like every other business. All they care about is profits. They're not going to spend tens of millions millions on anything that won't make them money.
Parking garage will probably bring in huge money from parking fees.

Agreed. Plus, he's bipolar and has been committed at least once. If tossing a brick-in-a-bag onto ESPN's campus lawn is the worst thing that he's done, then there's hope for him yet.

I'd like to hear about assisted living and memory care facilities as well as nursing homes.

I agree there needs to be something done to make Hartford more walkable, as well as drastic improvements to public transportation, in order to decrease the dependence on cars and get more cars off the road. I disagree that a hospital should have anything to do with this, and indeed, they will always require parking on site in a big way. Sick people and people from out of town frequent the hospital and there needs to be immediate accommodation for them. The worst thing you can do for an argument you’re passionate about is argue it poorly and that is what you’ve done. I think plenty of people would be happy with reliable, fast, clean, and cheap public transportation, but I don’t think demanding it from a hospital is going to get you many people on your side. Might be something you organize for and put pressure on elected officials, who’s jobs it is to improve the city/state and make things easier and better for their constituents.

Milford is my go-to recommendation for young families. I lived in the Devon section for a while but moved to a bigger house in Orange, which is also a great town.
Milford has lots of family activities and a great downtown. Unfortunately both Milford and Orange do not have much housing inventory. Good luck!
