Because he is an idiot

This is true. There is a “induced demand” fallacy, that it’s easy to assume that widening or building more roads will relieve congestion, but in reality it makes people want to drive more since there is more space and options, thus creating more traffic anyway. More Mass transit options are the only way to combat this. They need to make the trains more efficient. It would be nice if one thing we could have would be the double-decker trains like NJT has, although I’m sure there is some investment needed in catenaries and tunnels.

How do you guys not see the source is from NY Post, MSN just aggregated the story kind of like how Yahoo does also.

Your point? You’ll have to excuse me if I’m a bit indifferent to the ‘tragedy’ of a millionaire who chose to use his last moment on Earth to ruin what I’m sure was an otherwise peaceful or uneventful evening for probably no less than a half-dozen people who will need to remember either watching the sad-sap hit the ground or be the one forced to shovel it into a bucket.

YES! We’re #1 in something!

I'm not surprised at all. Conditions already sucked a decades ago, but it's gradually gotten worse. At least back then there were seasonal lulls; nowadays it's bad all the time.

State government is at least partially to blame for this mess. Over the years they've wasted money on lightly populated corners of the state instead of focusing resources where the congestion is heaviest. What projects they did undertakehave always been too small in scope and in some cases ultimately made things worse; exit 27 in Bridgeport comes to mind.

MetroNorth isn't helping matters either. It's better than it used to be, but it's still not ideal. Too slow and there are a lot of annoyances.

>Kinda gross to be posting this.

Sorry but its CT related, if you knew the guy personally condolences but suicides have always been in the news. This is not something new.

I did not write the story sir or ma'am.

why dont you educate yourself? You have people on this thread who sound far more knowledgeable than yourself and you just get pissy when they point things out. You are unequivocally wrong so maybe open your mind when people are politely respond to your dumbass post to begin with.

What does insane amounts of money mean to you? Paying for car repairs is never fun.

Love that I am not the only one who gets berated and told to GFY essentially for speaking truth about utility dynamics.

Makes sense when you put it like that. I live next door to new haven and imo the city itself is fine (infrastructure, transport options, things to do). It's the historically high crime rate, insane housing, and horror stories of what happens there that drive people away from new haven. Certainly doesn't help that it's been one of the highest crime cities in the country for most of my life

People leaving means lower demand.

The stories don't add up.

I just think it’s pathetic / sad that there’s virtually zero development around Union Station - no restaurants, shops, office space. There’s The Towers a few streets over by the highway…

And asking people to take the bus around New Haven…most people will just drive. There’s enough parking, there’s only a few areas that truly feel walkable anyways, and people prefer transit on rail (like the T) vs a bus.

It’s $34 round trip now? How much is a monthly pass?

Damnit where is the butt hurt guy the other day who I told why would you want manual for you daily driver and that car post with the kid asking about dealerships/cars.

Man I wish I had his name right now.

I used to live in WH and my mother lived in Little Neck, Queens (good old North Shore Towers). I’ve done the trip in under two hours, but I had to leave Queens by 5 am.

I am educated. And had to correct the usage of delivery in my post.

They do not profit on supply at all. Period. Nothing you can say "educate yourself" will change that. It is a fact.

They only profit on delivery.

It speaks volumes IMO that Lego would rather move to Boston than to Hartford or New Haven. Frankly I don’t think Hartford is an option for any employer - virtually no employees regardless of age would like to work out of that city.

It’s sad that New Haven isn’t attractive enough to attract the young talent pool Lego is clearly going for

That’s actually a very reasonable, if not low, price

Late to reply, but I just had a few beers with our realtor a couple of days ago (ran into him) and asked him how things were. His office is generally getting 10-12 calls per day with "you got anything coming up"? He's got probably 1 every two weeks that effectively doesn't hit the market and sold above asking price.

Again, it's anecdotal and maybe it's happening less now, but we were routinely getting shown houses before they were listed when we worked with him.

Kensington Auto, Town Line auto - both in Berlin. Guys at modern tire on the pike have always been solid but that’s a high volume shop

If you can't find your way around new haven easily by the busses, this is your failure not the transit system. There's bus service all over new haven.

nope
