Try staring a business or even just try living in Conn. You cant even wipe your bum without 3 permits, 8 inspectors, and a registration fee for each slip toilet paper.
I’ve been in Connecticut for most of my life, I’m from Hartford and I agree with joe. There’s so many miserable people who just want to bring you down even if you have good intentions. People will give you an attitude for no reason and treat you wrong, Random grown men will try to have “ staring contests “ with you when you’re just minding your own business , it’s super expensive to do anything here and the gun violence is ridiculous. When I leave I’ll never come back to this hateful place.
I was at CT and now I'm in Missouri, and yeah I'm in missery now I want to go back to CT, these guys are stupid The girls are awesome, the state is beautiful, but the cost is shit
@Rose :3 Got any good vegan pizza places to recommend that are comparable? I heard Divine Treasures in Manchester has some but from the website, it looks more like a sweets/bake shop. To anyone reading this in CT and looking for a good vegan restaurant, I have good news. Flora in West Hartford (right next to Whole Foods on Raymond Road) is 10/10 amazing. 21 Oak in Manchester is pretty nice too.
Whaddup brooooo! Haha, I was thinking about you while watching through this. Hope your area of CT has treated you well though man. Thanks for making great content! I know how good and fulfilling it feels to be deeply appreciated by a stranger so I hope me saying this does the same for you. Much love
As a Connecticut native I agree, I don't leave the house or if I leave I only go to the parks or mountains. The people suck, the government sucks, it's Limbo
Get out! You will be much happier. I was trapped there for 10 years. I hated from day one. You will be a much happier person. Leave at any cost, trust me you will be glad you did.
I live in Bridgeport so the goods schools is out the window and also it’s one of the more dangerous cities in the us it’s like a discount Brooklyn but way worse and awful
I used to think I got excited when Connecticut was mentioned in ANYTHING good or bad, since no one talks about us. I realize it’s more of a feeling of surprise
There is no hope, I live there. No work, its boring, taxes are getting raised again. People are saying Colt's there, but we cant buy half the things they make because AWB, the only thing it has is good hiking during the summer.
Iive in Connecticut n trust me the governor fucked this state so hard. There r some nice pple n some nice places but the taxes r fuckin ridiculous causing all the businesses 2 close up shop n move outta state. I like it cuz it's my home state but alot of things need change 2 make it better.
I can relate. I plan on leaving in two years. Really a grimy depressing feel to this state. I can see why back in the cold war times Soviets had Connecticut as the number three target on their nuclear hit-list. They even know its a sh*t hole.
LOL....I'm pretty sure it was the submarine base in Groton that put us on the Soviet hit list. Depends on where you live, really. I live up in the Simsbury area and, frankly, its pretty effing idyllic....miniscule amounts of crime, no traffic, lovely countryside.......the taxes are high, electricity is costly, etc but certainly not "grimy and depressing", lol.
I was born and raised in CT and when I turned 30, said screw this and moved to FL in 2017. I don't know how i survived living there so long without going insane. Problem with most people in CT is they all hate it and all want out, but then they have a laundry list of EXCUSES and never actually take action to leave. You are doing the same thing. I bet 2 years will come and go and you will still be there with no plans to leave. Literally everyone in CT does this I've noticed
As a foreigner, everytime I hear Connecticut, I think it's just some place that Vince McMahon and the WWE made up as a location.....sort of like coming from Parts Unknown. 😂🤣🤷
One time in Hartford, we had an off air show. Vader and HHH had a beef and Vader came so close to hitting me with a chair shot that my mom had to pull me by my shirt to save my face lol. Good times

The rural towns are the rural towns, whether you live in Connecticut or one of those neighboring states.

Robert Lee James Welch No exaggeration. Went to do a marathon in Hartford, after I was done, left within two hours to go back to New York. What relief.
I'm from Alabama and I have lived in Connecticut for the past 25 years and I totally understand what Joe is talking about. sad part about it is a lot of Connecticut people have no clue how crappy the state of Connecticut really is. some of them actually think they're in some kind of big city. it's just a pit stop between New York and Massachusetts. and expensive pit stop it there there's nothing to see. absolutely nothing. but it's home now .
Yea, and then hed be eating the pizza in shit hole New Haven while 30 guys on motorcycles and Banshees wheelie past him and some one gets shot in the face. The pizza can blow me CT sucks. Source, I live 15 minutes from New Haven.
Vino Poorly executed urban infrastructures, excessive taxes, highest rates of socioeconomic inequality, high sin taxes and fees, and high cost of living.
As much as I grew up in Hartford I felt like it was a prison and there was no hope but at the end of day it's still your home no matter what weather you like it or not
Joe, you 1000% NAILED the description of CT!! I’ve unfortunately lived here my whole life and I’m one of the ones who plans on getting the hell out of here someday! It takes a while to get out because your basically taxed for blinking and breathing and sitting in traffic - any way they can get you, they will!! There is zero opportunity, too many taxes, and traffic for days. All the good restaurants got put out of business by the garbage chain restaurants that now occupy the state. It is a useless state with terrible jobs that screws its residents in taxes!!
@@Lovetrain-io6kt you buggin if you live in Bridgeport 😂😂🤡 yk the only time it rains is when we get fucking side parts of storms from the south Bridgeport is food and party 24/7 the people are fine you just trippin
Joe Rogan has probably only visited the state's major cities, which are objectively horrible places to live. What's nice about Connecticut are its suburbs, which comedians aren't seeing when they tour.
+Shorpy Two best areas of the state. Northwest CT is more summer homes for rich New Yorkers (Kent, Salisbury, those towns) while Northeast CT is more classical New England. Rural, poor, etc. Depends what you're looking for.
Suburbs are, and never have been good. Suburbs were created by man so they can try and contain their wives away from important places of business. But it is demonstrably expensive, and destructive to everything from economy to climate. Suburbs are not representative of a place at all. The city centers are and the towns
I live in CT and it's awesome! BUT... it depends on where you live. I live near NYC in Fairfield County. Such a great place to live. Fantastic restaurants, events, parks, music venues, beaches, museums, etc. But that's just Fairfield County. Visited Hartford once and that 1 time was enough! Lots of CT is just woods and farmland and small towns. Reminds me of the Midwest when I lived there.
I'm from Danbury and spent 48 years of my life there. I grew up on Candlewood Lake and enjoyed what I thought were the riches of Fairfield County. When I travelled out of state, I was told how lucky I was to enjoy the beautiful scenery; they obviously never spent a miserable winter shoveling or feeling frazzled with a bored child home for several days for school cancelations. **NOTE TO THOSE IN CHARGE OF SCHOOL CANCELLATIONS** Connecticut is New England. 3" of snow doesn't constitute a snow day. For every day school is cancelled, days are eliminated from holidays which pisses parents off who've booked Disney vacations at Spring Break. Or, they go to school until the end of June (me) and have fans in classrooms (me) and it's 100 degrees. Didn't your grandmother tell you she walked to school in 5' of snow? We have massive plow trucks and sand with salt. I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to move to Texas 3 yrs ago where the weather is hot in the summer, but beautiful the rest of the year. I no longer suffer from Seasonal Light Disorder. Jobs are plentiful and with so many Northern companies moving in, salaries are comparable. I see plenty of Northeastern license plates and folks who tell me they will never return. My neighbor is from Brookfield and I never lacked for Stew Leonard's when he received care packages from home 😉 Sure, property taxes are ridiculous and yes, they have potholes, but it evens out with everything else I suffered at the hands of Mr. Lamont et al. My rent went down $1,500 and I can buy five bags of groceries for under $60. People are friendlier and actually let me in when I need to change lanes. When I do need to return to Connecticut - which is rare, I realize why I left. It saddens me that the only place I ever called home has deteriorated due to bad politics and greedy politicians. I recently met a young couple arguing. I overheard them discussing their upcoming relocation and why it was a better opportunity. My ears went up when I heard "East Haven" and interrupted by saying I was from Connecticut. Both native Texans, they were "anxious to get closer to New York" where he worked on Wall Street. It was a toss-up between E. Haven or New Canaan. What a decision! I didn't comment, but knew they'd be returning soon. I suggested Pepe's and the Ferry to Port Jefferson. I wished them well as I laughed my ass off. Taking a short Autumn trip to leaf- peep is fun, but living in Connecticut is a different story. And don't retire there. Please. @joerogan
Now, however this was done, Searched through every transcript of every show, do that more often. Im sure there is material for legendary compilations like this!
I moved here 4 years ago and LOVE it. I grew up in Ca and you can't pay me to go back. Did 5 years in Houston and i was fantastic, but just too damn hot. CT is pretty great- awesome weather, we got Boston and NYC. New England is fantastic!
I live in Connecticut it can be depression. I want out, I been here for all 22 years of my life. I feel like I can’t even talk to anyone in new haven. Anywhere in that fact. Honestly I feel weird being in Connecticut. I’ve been looking for jobs in the southern states, I’m getting out of Connecticut fast lol 😂
late response but I'm 28 and been stuck here my whole life and probably will be til the day I die. And everyone I know seems to be perfectly content or happy with the state (especially my dad... ugh.) so I feel your pain. Though for me it's not weird but rather just frustrating.
I have lived in eastern Connecticut (since 1979. Admittedly most of the cities (Bridgeport, Waterbury, Hartford, etc.) are awful BUT the more rural areas, in particular heading north along the Housatonic river are beautiful. The area is very photogenic and is steeped in history. You will find many small, historic towns and you will also find an abundance of hiking trails, fishing, mountain biking, hunting and skiing. You are also within less than (traffic permitting) a two hour drive to New York City thus providing you with the best of both worlds. Yes…taxes and the cost of living are high and that is a drag on the state but it is otherwise a beautiful place to live.
Lived in CT for 39 years. Respectfully, you sound like me in year 36 before I realized the Earth orbited around the sun, and not CT. The whole state is awful. A pathetic state with residents filled with anxiety and coldness (figuratively and literally speaking). I could never be convinced to go back there, ever.
Agreed. Thank you rstone for a) seeing the beauty in this state and b) having the balls to disagree unlike rogan's fanboys. There's so much beauty in NE and NW CT its amazing
This is hilarious. When I was doing debate contests, I met people all over the US. The ones from Connecticut were so stuck up! They were mean. That's all I know about Connecticut.
I'm two years late but yes I moved to VA the southwest part with the mountains and not only is it beautiful like a painting but these people down here are so freaking nice i'n my area hold doors open the whole nine yards, it freaked me out at first being from CT because people are so moody up there that I had to teach myself to take that wall down I've had to walk around with for 25 years. Now I'm 30 and I love Virginia and the people.. CT is B.S i can say that as a native CT.. There are plently of good people there of course but the average native CT citizen has a stank attitude for no reason and they don't even realize it either until you come to a place like VA and people actually smile.. I didn't realize what a D head I was until I left CT because I fit right in at the time 🤣🤣
Lavern Never been to vermont in my life im from the hood papa, and i dont remember ever going to new hampshire either. Good luck in your travels where ever you end up goin!
Lavern worst part is gentrification is happening more rampantly, so everyones moving to either bridgeport or hartford , mostly bridgeport. The shootings killings and crimes have risen as the result of people from all other project buildings ending up one small place. The average income for someone in bridgeport is 18k a year.....
There are bad parts to every state, im fromnthe farming towns and it is a great place to grow up.... never had to worry about anything left on my bike in the morning with my friends and came back when the street lights came on, we had the best times.
Connecticut may not have award winning cities, but it has some of the nicest small towns in the country, and Long Siland Sound shoreline is absolutely beautiful.
A whole lot of negativity on these comments. Connecticut is quite safe, clean, nice, friendly, high quality food and with loads of good people and the schools have caring teachers. All the people talking trash in the comment section either a) be grateful or b) do something to improve the facilities of Connecticut or c) move out. Open your perspective and visit other countries around the world and you'll see what a nice place you live in overall.
Hey I’m from CT and it’s more than just a highway between NY and Boston. It’s also a road to to the beaches in RI.

Jacques hey it’s not as bad as hell
Anderson132100 Wouldn’t going through New York be easier to get to Vermont than from Connecticut.

Joe- "I'm not kidding"
You know whats the best part about coming to Connecticut ? Is leaving Connecticut. XD
Robert Lee James Welch No exaggeration. Went to do a marathon in Hartford, after I was done, left within two hours to go back to New York. What relief.
Been here three years and cant wait to leave!
I’m from New Britain CT and this couldn’t have been more accurate
I'm from Alabama and I have lived in Connecticut for the past 25 years and I totally understand what Joe is talking about. sad part about it is a lot of Connecticut people have no clue how crappy the state of Connecticut really is. some of them actually think they're in some kind of big city. it's just a pit stop between New York and Massachusetts. and expensive pit stop it there there's nothing to see. absolutely nothing. but it's home now .
I lived in CT for over 40 years....he makes some good points!
I live in CT. He's absolutely right. Accepting the sh*t talk wholeheartedly
I think something deep and dark happened to him in Conneticut.
Nah, Connecticut really sucks
His girlfriend from CT when he was younger cheated on him lol true story he mentioned it before
Deep and dark is all that happens here.
Moved to CT from NYC 4 years ago, and I love it!!
Joe needs some New Haven style apizza after smoking a joint and then he’d lay off CT
AY buddy ya talkin' bout ABEATS? makin' me hungry over here, pal.
That's what I was thinking this WHOLE time. Yeah, it's a shithole but the pizza, my God! It's poetry on a crust!
Yea, and then hed be eating the pizza in shit hole New Haven while 30 guys on motorcycles and Banshees wheelie past him and some one gets shot in the face. The pizza can blow me CT sucks. Source, I live 15 minutes from New Haven.
Fax
Uhh I’m from nh but seriously call it pizza your fucking Guinea
I live in Connecticut, have my whole life (unfortunately), and I loved this god damn video! Guess that says something right there.
You're a bum
As a lifetime resident I have to agree w/Joe. Unfortunately.
Vino Poorly executed urban infrastructures, excessive taxes, highest rates of socioeconomic inequality, high sin taxes and fees, and high cost of living.
Well living in Connecticut my entire life I can say Joe is 100 percent right
I love my city. Can't imagine living in a shitty place.
SO accurate. I grew up in Hartford. Left 27 years ago. Everything described in this video is so spot on.
as someone who lives in connecticut, it’s really fun. i usually walk in the woods, or go to random grocery stores for fun.
Joe *ETHNIC BEAST WOMAN* Rogan
As someone who has lived in Connecticut for 10 years, I can confirm that it is indeed despair-central
Why stay
New Haven, CT has the best pizza in the world. That's something to love!
Little Caesar’s man seriously
As much as I grew up in Hartford I felt like it was a prison and there was no hope but at the end of day it's still your home no matter what weather you like it or not
“Connecticut is like the little kid with a limp”
Summed that shit up pretty good
Milford, CT representing and I personally do not feel despair-only a constant stream of road rage/disgust.
more joe compilations
especially him saying the word crazy
You should see some of the UFC video game glitches. (Tommy Toe Hold) pretends to be Rogan and he's constantly saying, "That's Crazy"!
dude that would be crazy 😏
Lived in CT most of my life, Joe you couldn't be more right 💯
I live in Bristol CT 10 mins from ESPN and I found Joes reaction to Bristol absolutely hysterical haha
i live in CT and he's so right. its depressing, a highway, and hartford is a damn shithole like damn its scary down there
Joe, you 1000% NAILED the description of CT!! I’ve unfortunately lived here my whole life and I’m one of the ones who plans on getting the hell out of here someday! It takes a while to get out because your basically taxed for blinking and breathing and sitting in traffic - any way they can get you, they will!! There is zero opportunity, too many taxes, and traffic for days. All the good restaurants got put out of business by the garbage chain restaurants that now occupy the state. It is a useless state with terrible jobs that screws its residents in taxes!!
I literally hate this state. It is extremely depressing. There's nothing to do.
I have family in CT. Joe's not wrong about it being a pit of despair
i've lived in CT my whole life and he is speaking 100% facts the whole vid😂😂😂😂
Lmaoo... im from Norwalk CT, 100% correct about everything. I
Carbon Dated same
Carbon Dated I’m from Bridgeport so I definitely agree lmao
@@Lovetrain-io6kt you buggin if you live in Bridgeport 😂😂🤡 yk the only time it rains is when we get fucking side parts of storms from the south Bridgeport is food and party 24/7 the people are fine you just trippin
@@michaelburgos4785 well i don't live in Bridgeport i was born there and then moved to danbury so i have no clue wth is going on there
@@michaelburgos4785 but i lived there when i was little and didn't like it but now i like coming there once in a while to go to bass pro.
There's literally only 1 way Connecticut can not be so shitty - that is to bring back the Whalers #MakeConnecticutGreatAgain
Joe Rogan has probably only visited the state's major cities, which are objectively horrible places to live. What's nice about Connecticut are its suburbs, which comedians aren't seeing when they tour.
Don't forget the quiet and gorgeous northwest and northeast corners.
+Shorpy Two best areas of the state. Northwest CT is more summer homes for rich New Yorkers (Kent, Salisbury, those towns) while Northeast CT is more classical New England. Rural, poor, etc. Depends what you're looking for.
Northwestern Cter here, yes its pretty pleasant, but its only because nobody is poor. The poor folk are all inbreds
Suburbs are, and never have been good. Suburbs were created by man so they can try and contain their wives away from important places of business. But it is demonstrably expensive, and destructive to everything from economy to climate. Suburbs are not representative of a place at all. The city centers are and the towns
This is some dumb shit
Waterbury CT here. Hes right. living here you feel like theres no hope.
Dirty water in da house...!
No Gilmore Girls energy?
Dude... Bro.... Your smashing on CT.... Well some of your observations are spot on.... Keep posting. Keep training.
I live in CT and it's awesome! BUT... it depends on where you live. I live near NYC in Fairfield County. Such a great place to live. Fantastic restaurants, events, parks, music venues, beaches, museums, etc. But that's just Fairfield County. Visited Hartford once and that 1 time was enough! Lots of CT is just woods and farmland and small towns. Reminds me of the Midwest when I lived there.
I'm offended. Apologize to my state.
I have lived in Connecticut for 22 years and got my bachelors at the university of Hartford and I couldn't agree with Joe more.
The last sentence spoken in this video is something a lot of people need to hear, take in, contemplate, and then act accordingly.
I’m from Connecticut 💪🏼
So am I an it’s a Shit hole moved to flordia best decision ever!
@@kendallbarry5083lucky you, I’m still here
"I don't work in Connecticut." Yeah, no one else does either, Joe. All the businesses left.
No wonder it was so easy for me to get a job there.
Who doesn’t?
Criss Brewsahrd Me I live there
Austin Madore nope
As someone from Miami who moved to Connecticut I actually love it. I hate the heat so maybe I’d be good anywhere in New England
Dude I live in CT and I can confirm that everything he says is true
I'm from Danbury and spent 48 years of my life there. I grew up on Candlewood Lake and enjoyed what I thought were the riches of Fairfield County. When I travelled out of state, I was told how lucky I was to enjoy the beautiful scenery; they obviously never spent a miserable winter shoveling or feeling frazzled with a bored child home for several days for school cancelations. **NOTE TO THOSE IN CHARGE OF SCHOOL CANCELLATIONS** Connecticut is New England. 3" of snow doesn't constitute a snow day. For every day school is cancelled, days are eliminated from holidays which pisses parents off who've booked Disney vacations at Spring Break. Or, they go to school until the end of June (me) and have fans in classrooms (me) and it's 100 degrees. Didn't your grandmother tell you she walked to school in 5' of snow? We have massive plow trucks and sand with salt.
I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to move to Texas 3 yrs ago where the weather is hot in the summer, but beautiful the rest of the year. I no longer suffer from Seasonal Light Disorder. Jobs are plentiful and with so many Northern companies moving in, salaries are comparable. I see plenty of Northeastern license plates and folks who tell me they will never return. My neighbor is from Brookfield and I never lacked for Stew Leonard's when he received care packages from home 😉 Sure, property taxes are ridiculous and yes, they have potholes, but it evens out with everything else I suffered at the hands of Mr. Lamont et al. My rent went down $1,500 and I can buy five bags of groceries for under $60. People are friendlier and actually let me in when I need to change lanes. When I do need to return to Connecticut - which is rare, I realize why I left. It saddens me that the only place I ever called home has deteriorated due to bad politics and greedy politicians.
I recently met a young couple arguing. I overheard them discussing their upcoming relocation and why it was a better opportunity. My ears went up when I heard "East Haven" and interrupted by saying I was from Connecticut. Both native Texans, they were "anxious to get closer to New York" where he worked on Wall Street. It was a toss-up between E. Haven or New Canaan. What a decision! I didn't comment, but knew they'd be returning soon. I suggested Pepe's and the Ferry to Port Jefferson. I wished them well as I laughed my ass off.
Taking a short Autumn trip to leaf- peep is fun, but living in Connecticut is a different story.
And don't retire there. Please.
@joerogan
The best video you ever made. Ever.
Now, however this was done, Searched through every transcript of every show, do that more often. Im sure there is material for legendary compilations like this!
I grew up in Orange, CT, between Rt 15 and I 95. Can't deny the highway joke. Left in 91, never missed it for a day.
Lived in Connecticut all my life, this is the truth
I moved here 4 years ago and LOVE it. I grew up in Ca and you can't pay me to go back. Did 5 years in Houston and i was fantastic, but just too damn hot. CT is pretty great- awesome weather, we got Boston and NYC. New England is fantastic!
I live in Connecticut it can be depression. I want out, I been here for all 22 years of my life. I feel like I can’t even talk to anyone in new haven. Anywhere in that fact. Honestly I feel weird being in Connecticut. I’ve been looking for jobs in the southern states, I’m getting out of Connecticut fast lol 😂
why do you feel weird?
I feel like New haven is much better than say the Hartford county. That place is scary weird
late response but I'm 28 and been stuck here my whole life and probably will be til the day I die. And everyone I know seems to be perfectly content or happy with the state (especially my dad... ugh.) so I feel your pain. Though for me it's not weird but rather just frustrating.
I went to the Mohegan sun in CT, I came out feeling the same way Joe feels about them lol
I have lived in eastern Connecticut (since 1979.
Admittedly most of the cities (Bridgeport, Waterbury, Hartford, etc.) are awful BUT the more rural areas, in particular heading north along the Housatonic river are beautiful. The area is very photogenic and is steeped in history.
You will find many small, historic towns and you will also find an abundance of hiking trails, fishing, mountain biking, hunting and skiing.
You are also within less than (traffic permitting) a two hour drive to New York City thus providing you with the best of both worlds.
Yes…taxes and the cost of living are high and that is a drag on the state but it is otherwise a beautiful place to live.
Lived in CT for 39 years. Respectfully, you sound like me in year 36 before I realized the Earth orbited around the sun, and not CT. The whole state is awful. A pathetic state with residents filled with anxiety and coldness (figuratively and literally speaking). I could never be convinced to go back there, ever.
Agreed. Thank you rstone for a) seeing the beauty in this state and b) having the balls to disagree unlike rogan's fanboys. There's so much beauty in NE and NW CT its amazing
Where do you move to
He’s absolutely right. Everyone is depressed and wants to get out
I'm from Connecticut, and I approve Joe's message
This is hilarious. When I was doing debate contests, I met people all over the US. The ones from Connecticut were so stuck up! They were mean. That's all I know about Connecticut.
He bombed in Connecticut that's why he hates it so bad!
I've watched this 10 times now. This is brutally funny.
It's funny and true
I'm two years late but yes I moved to VA the southwest part with the mountains and not only is it beautiful like a painting but these people down here are so freaking nice i'n my area hold doors open the whole nine yards, it freaked me out at first being from CT because people are so moody up there that I had to teach myself to take that wall down I've had to walk around with for 25 years. Now I'm 30 and I love Virginia and the people.. CT is B.S i can say that as a native CT.. There are plently of good people there of course but the average native CT citizen has a stank attitude for no reason and they don't even realize it either until you come to a place like VA and people actually smile.. I didn't realize what a D head I was until I left CT because I fit right in at the time 🤣🤣
Grew up in CT totally agree with the depressing part😂
Conn. Sucks big time. I agree 100%
I concur.
@Lavern you have to ask
Lavern Never been to vermont in my life im from the hood papa, and i dont remember ever going to new hampshire either. Good luck in your travels where ever you end up goin!
Lavern worst part is gentrification is happening more rampantly, so everyones moving to either bridgeport or hartford , mostly bridgeport. The shootings killings and crimes have risen as the result of people from all other project buildings ending up one small place. The average income for someone in bridgeport is 18k a year.....
@@Murakami_theenigma No scenery? The fuck part of CT did you go to?
hi, connecticut resident, i literally looked up "connecticut" looking for a video of someone saying how much they hate connecticut. thank you joe
Hartford is often a case study in university Urban Planning courses of what not to do with a city.
Only city not designed around its waterfront. Instead, capitalism, “all roads lead to G Fox.” Went right through my Hartford neighborhood. 🤑🤬
There are bad parts to every state, im fromnthe farming towns and it is a great place to grow up.... never had to worry about anything left on my bike in the morning with my friends and came back when the street lights came on, we had the best times.
Connecticut may not have award winning cities, but it has some of the nicest small towns in the country, and Long Siland Sound shoreline is absolutely beautiful.
A whole lot of negativity on these comments. Connecticut is quite safe, clean, nice, friendly, high quality food and with loads of good people and the schools have caring teachers. All the people talking trash in the comment section either a) be grateful or b) do something to improve the facilities of Connecticut or c) move out. Open your perspective and visit other countries around the world and you'll see what a nice place you live in overall.
Lived here my whole life and those are all lies
