It wasn't always illegal to have no front plate

>The law required Connecticut motor vehicles to have a front and a rear license plate until 1980. With the passage of PA 80-466, vehicles were required to have only a rear license plate and the normal registration period was made two years instead of one year. This legislation was enacted primarily for fiscal reasons. It originated in the Appropriations Committee and was referred to no other committees with cognizance over the substantive issues involved in going to a single plate. Going from two license plates to one and going to two-year registrations had been identified for the Appropriations Committee by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) as two of several budget options for cutting costs or raising revenue.
By 1986, the General Assembly had decided to reverse the requirement and go back to two plates for most vehicles. (Fire apparatus; motorcycles; camp trailers; commercial trailers; and vehicles displaying dealer, repairer, junk, or transporter plates were allowed to remain with one plate.) The legislature enacted PA 86-388 to convert back to two plates over a six-year period that began on July 1, 1987. All but the exempted classes of vehicles had to display two plates by July 1, 1993. The DMV commissioner had to issue two plates for all new registrations, beginning July 1, 1987. Two plates had to be issued for all registration renewals beginning July 1, 1991.

so nothing is free in your world

at night you have great windy roads just like the rest of CT, still nice

you should be mad at First Student (the school bus company), they're a terrible company who overcharge tax payers and under pay their employees.

Would be nice of some of the tax revenue from these develoent went to improving public transportation, making sidewalks better, working on traffic flow etc.

Property developers are getting rich while everyone who lives in the area deals with way to many people for what the roads were built for. Not just norwalk either obviously

Isn't that a bad thing?

Replacing homeowners with people who rent the homes from someone else instead?

>deadly grounds

isn't a coffee shop

why didn't you just google this instead of creating a post?

Written by people who study traffic all day

And say goodbye to any income tax from fairfield County

no... they work and live in kirkland, washington.... they're data anaylsts who specialize in traffic.

What states richer then CT have more tracks for their size?

Not surprising the people here disagreeing didnt read the report to see the stats that back this up...

The article is written by someone who read a study on traffic that determined this area was the worst...

You should read the report, it's backed up by a ton of data

>No way it's as bad as LA. They have 6 lanes on both sides and still doesn't move.

It's worse, that's exactly what the report says.

That's not really true, they ban the IMPORT of a few breeds, but you can only get those breeds from breeders in Germany.

Owners moved, no one wanted to buy it

How do you expect to pay for the assistance?

People only pay into it because they can get something out of it when shit hits the fan.

I like you ignored the traffic issue, as if adding more people won't make on already terrible situation much worse.

Let the other counties catch up first, let the state use some of the tax money FC generates for the state actually improve livability in the area before throwing more people in.

CT is plenty big, no reason to turn the 95 corridor into New Rochelle quite yet.

Making appartments that already exist affordable is not the same as building affordable housing way to miss the point.

If you reduce the rent you devalue your own property, and then get other tenants asking for reduced rents etc.

I down own a rental company, you can ask them why they do it, I have just have lived, and have friends who currently live in apartment buildings with vacant apartments which would obviously rent if they were reduced.

We've increased the population of lower Fairfield County like crazy, tons of new apartment buildings etc.

Guess what, traffic is a nightmare, the roads we have can't handle everyone.

What takes 15 minutes without traffic is now a 50-60 minute drive.

10 years ago that drive was 25-30 minutes, routinely.

You want more apartments, look in your own county, you need the money and tax base more then them.

Price per housing unit is a bs stat. It's not making apartments more affordable, it's literally decreasing property values. That doesn't help anyone.

No they won't. Rental companies make it more expensive, not less.

They don't care about making alkiving less expensive, they are naturally only there to create money for their owners.

Apartments will sit empty instead of reducing the rent, or keeping it the same. This is already happening in stamford and norwalk.

If you want actual low income housing then yes if agree with you... Which Darien already has on Allen O'Neil.

It's also interesting you talk about fairifels County when you live in Litchfield County which has less apartments.... Maybe focus in your area first before casting stones
