Lost losers to other states. Probably gained some chill people for the most part.

Clickbait. Here's also what's in the article.
​
"Lots of caveats here in the migration numbers: In a typical year, Connecticut will see 80,000 to 110,000 people moving to and from other states. Since the data are based on polling samples, a net departure of, say,15,000 residents can have margins of error so large that conceivably it wasn’t a net loss at all, in reality."

My educated guess is retirees are leaving for somewhere where pension income isn’t taxed, and a remote workforce from NY is moving in.

Reply to comment by Blicero1 in CT's legislature salaries are starvation wages, $28k/year. You have to be retired or rich to serve. This is regressive and should be changed. by MormonReformist
I never thought about it that way. Thanks for the food for thought.

Rich areas maybe. I wouldn't consider CT a rich state. I don't know any rich people.

Yeah limerock is a great place too. Very family friendly, they allow walkthroughs to see all the cars in the pits(some race teams will let kids sit in the cars and give free stuff), they allow camping, and it's just generally a nice place for people to go who enjoy motorsports. My only complaint is IMSA and some of the bigger events can be pretty pricey, but I do understand they have to keep the place running so it's minor to me.

If it wasn’t part time, I’d agree. I had the former speaker of the house as a professor and he said most reps go back and work full time jobs when they’re not in session

The issue with the CT rental market is that it’s gonna cost you at $300 a square foot to build which puts you in the 2000-3000 dollar range. Lands expensive and towns don’t let you build.
