Bulky mark you are something else man

Huh? These are kids man leave them be

Bc very important people live there who need privacy and security’s. Also all the other reasons folks have already said

God forbid they do their jobs right. It’s like praising the pizza delivery guy for dropping off your pizza. It’s what they’re paid to do

I am literally one of those Americans building shit and explaining to you why it isn’t good for our home state yet you’re not listening bc it goes against your opinions.

Exactly what I’m saying. When did we become so entitled that we demand nice things for cheap? If you spent half the time you are fighting for affordable housing actually working, maybe you could afford to live in a nice place. This is America, you have to pay up for nice things. Stop complaining

You shouldn’t be able to have a higher standard of living if you can’t afford it. I want a house in the hamptons personally, but I can’t afford it. I’m not calling for them to get cheaper.

Also we don’t want cheaper housing, cheaper housing is a bad thing.

Affordable housing is a fallacy. The only reason it is ever built is for the tax credits, then once ten years has passed it goes to market rate.

They do it because it’s ok to take a loss for a few months to hold out for higher rent on a longer term lease. Vacancy of a high value unit looks better on paper than a lower than market lease.

There are plenty of charming commuter towns in the surrounding areas in three states. People would move there

You do realize the reason Connecticut is so beautiful and holds it’s charm is because we haven’t adopted those things. I guess it’s all a matter of perspective but to those who value that we hate the idea of changing for density, while those who can’t afford the nice party’s want to create denser towns so they can afford it. What they don’t know is that those towns would lose their charm and people would stop moving there, defeating the whole purpose and value of moving there

You new urbanists make me laugh. I’m literally a multi family real estate developer and all y’all who aren’t in the industry immediately jump to transit based development because it’s the easiest way to defend and disguise affordable housing when in reality it does the opposite

Seriously, apply the same logic to cars. I can afford a Honda but that guy has Ferrari and I want one so he should call Ferrari and make them give me one half off

This is silly. It’s not a matter of NIMBY ism, it’s a matter of common sense. High quality of life is more expensive. Grow up

Edit: the fact that this is being downvoted shows how ridiculous this sub is

Just buy 3 snap traps for 3 bucks. No need to create drama

Ok fair but that doesn’t mean that Westport isn’t in the upper echelon of the state, certainly shouldn’t be lumped in with Weston and Wilton where homes are available for less that 7 figures

What’re you talking about? The median home price in Westport is over 2 mil. And that’s not because of expensive outliers. There’s hardly any houses for sale there under 1M and anything that is will be bought overnight, redeveloped, and listed for 2.2M

You’d have to make it an actually appealing place to live. Right now there is absolutely zero reason to not just work there then take your money out to the suburbs

Fuck you ryan. No one wants to see your tweets.

“I am a stay at home mom” “hoping to not have to leave the home we purchased”

Always get that prenup gents. You wouldn’t drive without car insurance would ya!

Head a few states south or north unfortunately

Bc Hartford is a city losing the very small population they did have compared to Detroit

Noooo rates are going up making construction expensive limiting the supply.

That’s not strange at all. The housing market is skyrocketing right now. I sold a house two years ago and it’s back on the market for 500k more than I sold it for with zero reno
