Your making excuses like traffic and water quality. Sorry you cant afford it.
Outside of rush hours, traffic is a non-issue even in lower FFC. I freely drive and move about 3 different coastal towns on a near daily basis. Like Kidyankee said, the brunt of traffic is experienced by longer distance commuters.

No work = no undocumented immigrants.
I'd go further and add a corporate death penalty for 3 willful infractions, or 1 involving say 12 illegal employees or more. Have the state seize all equity, and prohibit any officer from ever having a like role or equity position for life..in any company charted in the state or publicly traded with a Ct presence.

Excuses for what? Not living there? Assuming you are for real, my work is in Manchester -- how's that for an excuse?

No. The places I wish I lived have a much better climate and are (currently, I've been fickle with this) found in the southwest and coastal CA.

Coastal CT is a bargain compared to coastal CA.

Perfect year-round weather has a way of driving up property values. Sunshine tax, they call it. For all our taxes in CT, that's one we'll never have to pay...
