Compared to Seattle Middletown is a quiet small city with a very very small amount of drug activity on the main st. No tents anywhere, no one sleeping on the street. Crime in Middletown is nothing compared to the much poorer cities in CT- Hartford New Haven Waterbury Bridgeport. Even in CT’s cities the homelessness/ drug activity pales in comparison to west coast.

Cromwell and Rocky Hill are the most boring Hartford suburbs. I would avoid living there at all costs. Glastonbury is nice but very expensive/ snobby. Middletown is interesting and has an arts scene, great restaurants. Natural food market I love. Small movie theater.

I also recommend Hartford or West Hartford.

I would recommend near Wesleyan university if there are any apartments in the historic homes. I love historic homes for their charm— ideally if the home is owner occupied and well maintained. There are a lot of condo complexes near the Cromwell line in my opinion they are boring because people just drive anywhere they need to go. If you are near Wesleyan you could walk to Main St.

the state can build public housing/ rehab vacant properties instead of relying on private developers to include small amount of affordable units in new developments, the state can stop giving tax incentives to developers building luxury apartments/ condos.

a recession is coming/ already here, who will be able to afford all the luxury units being built?

Democrats are too scared to challenge the status quo.

I like the proposals by Recovery for all coalition... I am doubtful they will pass. they will be watered down and the Democrats will act like they actually did something for the working class. The unions and "progressives" are too aligned with Democratic Party-- same people who worked to get millionaire Lamont elected are too scared to really push for meaningful policy that will address income inequality in our state and tax the rich.

same with Lamont and Dems taking credit for the Husky for immigrants campaign.
