Moving from CA to CT- any advice?😅

I live and west haven

I grew up in Connecticut, moved to Florida 10 years ago and now I would love to go back. If you are not a redneck, don’t come to Florida.

Connecticut actually doesn’t have very high housing costs compared to other places. as somebody who moved there, you could get a townhouse for 700k in Cali (where i used to live) whereas in Connecticut you could get a regular, updated home.

Very helpful 🙏

I am selecting a place to move to and am considering CT. So I am wondering what public services you refer to?

I moved from CT to Northern Florida - I had three very interesting conversations with strangers today, if you want that in CT that might happen over the course of three years.

Im moving to CT early next year. This video was helpful!

Very helpful

Just A Different Note,My Sister Lived In Stratford And Had A Bumper Sticker Saying "Preserve The Sound!"

This is a miserable person. She’s talking about being miserable. Stay away from William Ravas and this real estate agent. Both suck!

You can live here work here just don’t retire here 😂

Thank you for the info

Agree with you. I migrated to this beautiful country 15 years ago, I came directly to CT. But at this point of my life, I"M DONE. Trying desperately to move out.

What you were saying about CT is the same about New Mexico down to the “T”. Get the 4 seasons in 1 day. Everything is taxed, except Social Security income. But to me when I first visited there, mainly Waterbury, the people who were on the clock or working wherever I be at (Barnes and noble, restaurants) were absolutely fabulous. The only difference is New Mexico doesn’t get as much snow as CT

No other state pays property, income, sales or motor vehicle taxes!! This is an outrage! I’m moving to Florida TOMORROW.

Your are the best :))

I never be in Connecticut but listen you ....i will be there :))

I kind of agree that people in CT can be a bit aloof, not the most friendly, but I've realized it all depends on where you are. Towns east of New Haven along the shoreline like Branford, Guildford, Madison, etc. tend to have quite friendly people and those towns are all quite charming.

If you don't like taxes Connecticut is not the place for you!

Walnut beach is not devon

Martha Stewart's accent was manufactured. She's from Jersey so to fit in with the westporters she developed that snoby north Atlantic accent. But that's not how your local westporter speaks at all. That is unless you frequent Starbucks. They seem to lay it on pretty thick at Starbucks.

CT is a shithole

I know I'm late to the party with this video, but I've lived in New Haven my whole life and I swear to god, I hate it with everything I've got! I thought it was going to become something like a version of Seattle on the East Coast, but boy was I wrong! I hate the homelessness. I hate the poverty. I hate the high rents. I hate the litter. I hate the traffic. And I hate the cynicism. Nothing changes. New Haven tears things down and then replaces them with NOTHING. They tore down the Coliseum and replaced it with NOTHING for 20 years. They tore down entire neighborhoods and they replaced them with NOTHING for FIFTY YEARS. And anything that other towns would bend over backwards to keep, New Haven tells them to f**k off. And I hate the fact that we had a mayor for years who would flail his arms and scream in his little high voice "WE'RE AN ARTS TOWN!!", and I have to drive out to Orange or Branford just to buy guitar strings. And I absolutely hated it in the 90's when alternative rock came every where BUT HERE, especially since I was trying to start a band and I had no takers nor any place to play. Now that I'm doing stand up there's nowhere to play. Great "arts town" we got here. At least not one the police weren't trying to shut down. The 90's is when I saw most of my friends leave the city, and I was stuck here taking care of my aging parents. It was like I was Max at the end of the Road Warrior being left in the wasteland, watching everyone drive away. I did manage to spend some time in Colorado and in Las Vegas. Both of which weren't bad. But I came back here, and I'm thinking that was a mistake.

People are coming in and I'm trying to get the hell out!!!!!!

I've lived in Connecticut all my life and this state is a shit hole!!!!!! That's why Connecticut is known as the tax you to death state!!!!!

CT does sell alcohol in Sundays.

CT has pockets of nightlife. You just need to know where to go. In new haven there are plenty of bars, restaurants and clubs to choose from. Toads Place and The Bar are local favorites. SoNo (south Norwalk) has over 30 upscale bars, restaurants and clubs and some feature live bands. Stamford and Danbury also have many bars, clubs and restaurants. The Black Rock section in Bridgeport has a huge music scene and plenty of venues offer live music. Plus, theres the bridgeport and hartford ampitheters, the palace in waterbury and other venues that offer big name concerts. Then, there are the casinos. If you want nightlife, CT has it.

Been to CT twice and never heard of Milford before although I drove near it a few times.

Fall not all beauty! If you have a large lawn with flowers, bushes and trees there’s a real mess to deal with. Landscape companies can be very expensive and not always very good.

In her video on West Haven, I was going to suggest Stratford instead of moving to West Haven. Stratford has the same amenities, but is thriving. One thing to be aware of, Stratford in general is contaminated with toxic chemicals. Short beach is on a landfill and both short beach and long beach have had guys in hazmat suits taking samples and trying to maintain what's there. Beaches are closed often due to pollution from Long Island sound as well. For cleaner sea water, go north in CT, but it's hard to find with the tide winds changing. Oceans are heating up and Fairfield county in CT has seen an increase in population of blue crabs, which are very southern crustaceans. Stratford is good for those just starting out, or trying to move away from NYC. There is a lot to do with children of all ages in this part of CT. Stratford is a part of Fairfield county and expect house prices to soar over the next couple of years. She claimed they were over $300K at the time of this video, but they are now over $400K two years later.

West haven has hit hard times. It was on the decline for a while, but the economy tanked. The schools are not great to say the least. Housing may be affordable, but you get what you pay for. Remember, location is everything. You can find the same amenities in other surrounding towns that are better off?

That's probably why CT has great health care and a high life expectantcy--the longer you live, the more taxes they can collect from you.

8/28 leaves already showing color on my maple tree out front.

i95 is a 6 lane highway from the NY border to branford and 4 lanes between east haven and Rhode Island. Rt 84 goes from 3 lanes to 6 lanes. Rt 9 is four lanes. i91 for the most part is a 3 lane highway. Rt 8 is the same as rt 25 down in Bridgeport. At that merger rt 8 has 10 lanes. Most of the stretch of rt 8 goes between 2, 4, 6, 8 lanes. The Merritt parkway is the only highway that has two lanes the entire way. It is considered the scenic route. We have other smaller highways, but they all have more than two lanes. I travel this state daily, from West Haven to Litchfield. I grew up in Fairfield county and saw i95 go from 3 to lanes to 6. I am old enough to remember the toll booths in Westport on i95. If these highways were mostly two lanes, can you imagine the traffic?

I love Connecticut. I am 74 years old, retired, own my house. Love the seasons, nice people, rolling hills. The taxes are a plague, especially on my small pension and social security. Cost of home, auto repairs are very high. The worst is the tax on vet bills of all things. If it exists, the state will tax it. They have been taxing internet purchases for a couple of years now. Love where I live, in an area away from traffic, ugly big box stores, fast food stinky restaurants which have infiltrated even nice towns and cities.

Beautiful place to live I'm from Brazil and I would like to live and work in a beautiful place like this. If there is a job out there, I would like to go to work and it's beautiful.

Derby and Shelton are not on the coast… they’re well north of the parkway.

HATE the state, left in "13 after 38 years for GA never to look back...😅

Your corrected I lived in Florida <Saint Petersburg and you can see the differances as far as being friendly

Love your videos! Originally from Michigan and currently in Texas and considering a move to CT but not in a big city like Hartford, New Haven or Stamford. Taxes are high in Texas too as well as cost of living. Traffic is bad here too. My visits at my hotel where I stayed both times, I sat at the bar with a bunch of locals who were regulars and had a great time. Being a former Detroiter, I know what you’re saying. My next visit, I hope we meet.

Traffic is the worst. It seems like no one ever gets off the highway.

One of the worst cities in Ct

Thank you for your video, I’m considering a move to CT from Texas and originally from Detroit. Miss being near water. Visited the area a couple of times but missed Stratford, Milford and a couple of other towns.

Best part about Devon is that I live there and I am a very cool guy. Great place to live. I feel as if the small neighborhoods have lost their charm due to modern housing being constructed and also because most of the old people who lived there are moving away. My favorite place is wildemere beach. There you will find me hanging around, digging in the sand, playing in the water. That beach is my territory 😎. It is still such a shame that the neighborhoods are not the same.

Anywhere in connecticut is better than living in nyc. Connecticut is not that bad

The "Great" people of Connecticut suck!! Just like the commie government that runs it. The only good thing about Connecticut is, leaving it!! ☕☕☕😎🇺🇸

I live in CT. I regret I am too old to move! Should have left the day after I retired.

The first time I was nearly killed, I almost didn't live to see my 9th Birthday.
