There’s a lot more cowboy hats here than you think. Boots are a big thing here too.

>level 6mkt853 · 4 hr. agoBecause someone suggested buses running in HOV lanes as a solution. We already have that in Connecticut, so we should know whether that's a legitimate solution for this corridor or not because we have a decade's worth of data.

Wear your cowboy hat with pride

My dad always wore cowboy hats. Never a problem. Keep wearing what you like.

Merritt7 needs more trains to it. There should be a flyover just past Sono to avoid train congestion.

It’s the mandatory love-hate relationship we have with it lol. I think it’s required for membership in this sub.

Why is it convoluted? They reused an old RR right of way, and with the BRT solution they used, different routes can branch off as needed.
It's been rated highly as a good use of the technology.

Not with that attitude. Suburbs can be built in a more transit orientated way without increasing density (depending on what you're defining as density), we just have to actually put the effort in to actually do that. But we've deliberately done the opposite so it's not surprising that it'd be hard to immediately overlay effective transit all at once.
Plus, affordability is kind of a whatever point. Driving a car is not very affordable either, not just in maintaining the roads and infrastructure, but in forcing every family to have at least one or more depreciating assets that they have to pay to maintain, insure, fuel, etc. just to do anything. And regardless, transit should be a service, there's nothing wrong with the government providing a service without being inherently profitable.

There's a big slice of ghetto and open parking lots between Stamford station and the nicer Harbor Pt areas that would make for amazing infill area.

Quality Auto on main street in Cromwell. Priced fair, quick, explains everything in detail.
Andre is a great guy and patient. Recently had mine done and can't help but rave about the service I received.

I thought in Texas they all wore tinfoil hats.

It's amazing how many posts in this sub are trolls with throwaway accounts.

Wear what you want to wear! But fair warning, come wintertime, you’re going to wear a beanie/knit cap just like everyone else.

That’s a start. I could get down with that. And it would weed out some of the more casual and propagandized votes. You got my vote.

You’ll look weird. It’s cool though just wear it. You probably look weird without the hat.

Grew up in CT, it wasn't super common but there were people that wore them (I was in a semi-rural town.) An old guy I knew when I worked at Dunkin wore one every day. My dad had a straw one he used for fishing, and sometimes wore it generally. CT is very live and let live, I doubt people will care. You will see cowboy hats at the Big E and the RV show that takes place on the Big E grounds too, lol.

It's also worth noting the lack of affordable housing not just for the poor but middle class means everyone who works in Stamford/Greenwich/Fairfield is forced to live North/East of work to have a half decent living arrangement despite dealing with the 1.5 hour ride from Bridgeport to Greenwich at 7am.
