It's one of a few states worth living in TBH.

But if you don't like it here, you're free to get the fuck out of here.

No, I think we need more people who were fed up enough to leave CT around to offset the people who won't admit it's problems.

Why? All they do is say inaccurate shit like "CT is a shithole" when by any sane standard, it absolutely isn't.

Does the state have issues? Yeah of course. Everywhere does. It's still one of the best places in the country to live.

I'm convinced the people who say CT is a shithole have never actually left the state and visited other actual shitholes

You have an opinion, they have an opinion.

Taxes are very high here, cost of living is very high, the weather isn't terrible but it isn't great. The beaches are the worst in the country. We have no mountains to speak of. We have among the worst fiscal positions of any state in the country (or did until covid helped us).

One of the most common bragging points of CT is how close it is to NY and Boston. But it isn't NY or Boston and doesn't have the stuff that those places do.

There are good points as well. Lots of hiking, people are pretty reasonable (neither our left wing nuts nor our right wing nuts are as nutty as those in other places). Not too crowded, not too empty. Taxes actually could be worse. Crime, outside of a few crummy cities, is quite low.

But all in all, if I could go back in time before I became entrenched here work and family wise, I wish I had gone somewhere else.

True it could be New York or Mississippi but it's still a shithole

Connecticut is not a shit hole. Move out when I was young. Moved to Michigan, Colorado and now Texas, and I can say Connecticut is by far better than Michigan or Colorado, and all 3 are a thousand times better than Texas. You want to see a shit hole, move south....

Yes there are. Have you ever been to any of the state parks?

And I say this as someone who also left CT. But I think of it fondly!
