As a recent homebuyer who just moved here, I apologize for the following harsh truth.

Average home price in the us is $500,000 right now. (Source: https://www.statista.com/statistics/240991/average-sales-prices-of-new-homes-sold-in-the-us/)

We are one of the more expensive states. (#13 including DC ahead of us according to here: https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/median-home-price-by-state)

300k is well below average for this area.

You’re better off putting your down payment into a 6% CD and waiting 2-3 years for rates to drop. The current rates either need to change or prices need to drop. This is not a good time to buy in, because you’ll have to refinance in a few years to get out from your terrible rate. Refinancing will force you to pay closing costs again. So essentially you can take the 30k you’d have to pay towards your refinance and pay rent for a little bit instead, and probably come out ahead.

I agree, use of deadly force to protect possessions is a crime and should be. But lets not pretend those perpetrating thefts don’t carry weapons and readily use them. If this guy isn’t lying, he saw the kid reaching for what he perceived as a gun. Its not out of the realm of possibilities, it happens literally daily. Happened to a woman in Glastonbury who caught someone in her car summer of 21. They shot at her. She was the victim, she didn’t ask to be robbed and almost killed that day. Neither did this man.

Ah the classic victim shot by criminal perpetrating a crime. They shouldn’t have taken any issue with being robbed or assaulted. They were bad victims. World teaches us this daily.

Are you?

The criminals who often have guns have been known to shoot at victims they encounter during these robberies and thefts. A quick google search gives you countless examples, a few recents from right here in CT. But that reality is inconvenient lets not focus on it. But I do wonder if they care about where their bullets end up when they’re trying to shoot at their victims? The criminals, those damn 2a people, they’re so irresponsible.

That’s definitely high but like you said you’re not their only caller right now

Connecticut is still a fiscal disaster.

Hello Darkness, my old friend...

Motion sensor switches! Legrand sells them in the box stores. The adorne collection is aesthetic and has numerous options.

Without the darkness, there can be no light.

To be fair, you can’t find a house under 300k anywhere in the country except for like rural Oklahoma or the ghetto. Under 300k is really cheap. CT home prices are still relatively low too.

Omg, that is the truth. Everyday I remind my kids. In one ear out the other.

Yup, I thought that too At about 5:00 today.

Was this making fun of the other post with almost the exact same title https://www.reddit.com/r/Connecticut/comments/10keqcv/the_future_of_ct_is_very_very_dark/? lmaoooooo XD probs just top tier dad joking

Then maybe they should find other lines of work.

Most likely F15s out of Barnes in Westfield MA. I see them almost daily.

Lawful gun owner stops and detains criminal. - What should have happened. VS. Lawful gun owner stops and detains criminal, subsequently charged with multiple felonies, life likely ruined - Backward CT policies in action Reality.

Not sure if it’s the same deal but Sunnova deal had an option to pay them $8k after 18-months to keep the rate around $100/ month. If I didn’t the rate went up to $150/ month. But the rebate from the feds is essentially $8k. But I’m keeping the $8k from the feds and will pay a bit more every month.

He lives in Florida lmaoooooo

I got a speeding ticket in AZ a while back and never saw any points on my insurance.

But it getting later and later
