Reply to comment by Last-Instruction739 in Is it safe/legal to swim across the Connecticut River? by RedditMaster679

My first time canoeing on the river we could see the boat launch to get back home but fighting the current and boat traffic it took forever. We nearly exhausted ourselves trying to go a few hundred yards upstream (I was a teenager, don’t be cruel). Definitely learned the river was not to be messed with that day.

Reply to comment by AConnecticutMan in CT Subaru drivers by uuuge

Perfect example of how oblivious Subaru drivers are. Someone stating they have literally never had a bad driving experience with specifically Subaru drivers. Just think about that for a moment.

Reply to CT lost thousands of people to other states last year, Census Bureau says by gewehr44

This post is meaningless- and shows how uniformed many people are.

As Climate Fears Mount, Some in U.S. Are Deciding to Relocate.

As wildfires worsen and sea levels rise, a small but growing number of
Americans are choosing to move to places such as New England or the
Appalachian Mountains that are seen as safe havens from climate change.
Researchers say this phenomenon will intensify in the coming decades.

For many being shattered by climate change- Connecticut is like Eden. Temperate beautiful forests and weather. And housing prices BELOW the national average.

Connecticut's population will continue to grow as people get out of harms way of an increasingly erratic and dangerous climate. This increase will pick up by decades end.

The state will have to allocate more time and effort in dealing with this increase in population.

As climate change worsens and the GOP becomes more wacko- Connecticut will see modest population growth for some time. The pace of people like yourself moving here will quicken as climate change becomes worse this decade. Lots of people who post here are clueless. You 'get the picture' climate havens like CT will be the present and future. Many folks are living in the past with CT.

What concerning is the amount of housing stock here (its low) and the state government lack of understanding and planning for the influx of climate refugees. Although the state of CT ranks as the 5th best state in its preparation for climate change- the state here does not understand the backlash climate change will bring- as people leave southern and southwestern states. My education in geography and geology made me informed- not clueless!

Reply to comment by ctrealestateatty in EVERSOURCE NEEDS TO ISSUE REFUNDS. Nat gas trading @ $2.83 Henry Hub which is down about 70% since August peak. by BeerPizzaGaming

So you are saying because that poster has now corrected their statement after I pointed out their error that somehow they are now in the right? and my response to their original response is now somehow wrong? LOL
You should work for Eversource or the government... if you dont already......hmmmm..... quickly looking at your post history you seem to be very active when it comes to any comments/ statements that are concerning Eversource and utilities....anyway
Regardless of the above, it still does not change the fact that Eversource is;

-an oligopoly,
-has multiple subsidiaries of which many do profit off of supply rate increases,
-continue to raise their own rates and profits grow in excess of the rate of inflation
-CT has the highest utility rates in the continental US.

Actually housing prices are projected to rise in greater Hartford this year about 8%. Many people interested in Connecticut. Not only from NY- but from the Washington DC area- and states suffering from heat, drought and extreme weather.

When moving these days- one must do their homework about climate change- the biggest issue this country and world has ever faced. Those moving south to areas that will become brutally hot do so at their own risk. In the end they will pay more than staying in CT. Too many uniformed people moving to harms way in states that will face the worst affects from climate change.

Northern states like Connecticut will see an influx of people from areas like Texas, Florida and AX and other southern states because of climate change. CT though also becoming warmer has a temperate climate with less heat in the summer. Winters are becoming much milder.

Florida is in a housing bubble with prices that exceed most of CT-

The cost of home owners insurance in Florida is through the roof. Add climate change to this toxic cocktail- the smart people are getting out.
