At a Price: The High Cost of Living in Connecticut
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 07. 2024
- 169! That’s the number of towns and cities in Connecticut. We love our local communities, but our town-centric living comes at a price: high taxes, rising taxes, and slashed budgets. Can our state afford to keep its small-town roots or is there a better way of doing business?

I moved to Washington State. So beautiful, affordable, and peaceful.
This was helpful. I’m looking for a job, and there are two similar jobs that I am looking at. One is in TX, and the other in CT. I think I have made up my mind.
Not RightMeow Yeah, this state has a high overall cost of living and high taxes that are really kind of unsustainable unless your rich and that's why thousands of people are leaving the state each year. I should know because I'm planning to move from the state myself too.
Not RightMeow Hoping to move to Minnesota :)
DO NOT MOVE TO CT, youll go broke before retirement
@@perkhere2252 It's such a shame. Connecticut is gorgeous. I had been considering a move from the South up to Connecticut.

You think Connecticut is bad? Try living on Long Island.
Ethel Kennedy's sister, Ann McCooey lives in New Canaan after having lived in Greenwich, New York City and Bedford for many years.
You gotta help the young folks out. We don’t know who the hell Ethel Kennedy is.

@@franko8572 I had no clue no one knew who Ethel Kennedy is.
@@texan903 Rfk got iced in 1968, gotta help the young kid’s out. Most of them have probably heard rfk was a government figure, but if you’re born in 2000, what do you know about a guy’s who died in 1968, and his wife?
In one word: racism. These 3 school towns would rather stay stuck in an endlessly rising tax loop than to just send their children to school in a district where there's majority #ADOS and other so called people of color. They've been able to purchase their separation and comfort for so long that maybe they believed all the poor and homeless CT natives would just leave or something. Some of these are the very same people who preach sustainability - the nerve! Were any of these town halls held with minorities in mind? I hate the term as much as anyone else the that's always the elephant in the room when it comes to CT, now isn't, at this point? If they think one dime of their precious tax dollars might benefit someone from the ghetto they shut it down. I've asked all these years, what is the purpose for some of the services in these small towns? Nothing happens there to be able to justify a bunch of cops, squad cars, and their overtime, for example. I hate to admit it but the state obviously haven't been successful at stepping in and "incentivizing" regionalism. What Stephanowski is calling "diversity" is nothing more than a large number of small predominantly white towns split around a miniscule number of cities packed with #ADOS, POC, and the non-preferred immigrants. Connecticut, the dead horse has rot, the fat lady has sung, and I dare say that the casket has nearly closed on your Pleasantville fantasy of a "state." What has even come of this?

Want to save Connecticut get the Democrats out
Always remember to repent of your sins (sin is transgression of YAHUAH The Father In Heaven’s LAW: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, & Deuteronomy) And Have Belief On Yahusha The Messiah. HE Died and Rose three days later so that you can be forgiven of your sins!
HE Loves you! Come to HIM🙂🙂
Leave ct now. It's a dead state.
