Just a quick local tip, our state university mascot is a husky (UConn Huskies) and students/alumni are called "huskies" so you will want to clarify to people you are looking for an apartment that is husky-dog-friendly. Elsewhise people may think you're looking for a student-friendly apartment.

Thanks! I will definitely be doing this. And I do agree that this is not very constructive topic. But a teacher at my high school brought me along a field trip to a naturalization program and wanted me an article in the school newspaper somewhere on the topic of immigration and race. Probably should have clarified I’m in high school, apologies.

I don't have any specific apartment recommendations, but I do recommend looking into each apartment's specific policies before writing them off. Ived lived in buildings in/around NYC that had similar policies, but all they required was a note from a vet stating they were up to date on shots. There were Huskies, Pitbulls, and German Shepards in the building. All were technically not allowed, but it was never a problem for me or anyone else we knew in the building. Good luck.

On the one hand, glad to know it wasn't just me or my local police/towing duo, but on the other, this shit fuckin sucked. It was a '96 Accord for me in 2011, and you can correctly the assume the guy driving the '96 Accord in 2011 did not have $400 just lying around, savings or otherwise. (Thankfully I no longer have an empty savings account).

Second Melanie. We moved from OK to CT 5 years ago and didn’t have time to come for a visit here so we did a couple apartment walk throughs virtually with her. In New Haven, you don’t pay the realtor fee, the landlord does so it’s technically a free service for you. Wooster square is where it’s at!

Agreed that more could be done to revive the poorest neighborhoods, but it takes a city to rebuild a city.

It is not the job of a journalist to do what 130K+ people have not, or even to report exclusively on that failure until something is done, although I'm sure that the time will come again and again and again when they report on just that.

You can't solve all the problems in the world in one go, and you can't report on all the problems in the world in one go. This particular time, the story just happens to be on a different issue affecting the city.

A journalist's gotta make a living, and we should respect that, even if we disagree with their choice of topic.

Listen, if you're a liberal and especially if you are involved with Yale - do something constructive. There are tens of thousands of people in the city whose living standards are practically third world. That is far more important than "hate crimes", most of which are of dubious veracity.

The crime is the best and brightest of the world can't figure out how to turn neighborhoods next to their university campus into something other than a slum.

Had mine get stolen and then recovered 2 days later on Blake street. Console was messed up, glove box was broken and stupid stuff like tire pressure gauge was stolen. All in all cost about $1k to fix, which sucked. It’s just one of those shitty things to deal with but certainly not unique to the city.
