Umm.. that's not the only reason to buy. Renting you are basically throwing away your money with no chance to reclaim any of it. Buying, you have an opportunity to reclaim some when you sell. You may gain some or lose some. Renting is a total loss of $36,000 every year at $3k/mo rent. As long as you don't buy more than you can maintain, buying is the best option. POV: rented 7 years in FC, owned 4 years in FC.

Not that I know of, but that's sort of my point - if there are laws that are almost never enforced, it creates opportunities for arbitrary policing decisions, and I don't think that's a good thing.

With that and the eminent domain proposals, absolutely a hard no.

Not really my loss, it’s UConn’s loss, they obviously will get way less fans at the games…

I do that too when I can’t be by a tv.

I love it! I fully support all of these plans.

There’s enough morons out there to make me think this is warranted.

Fair point, yet still your loss. I'm sure there's plenty of hockey downstate.

Would you prefer people call them roads that service many business and tend to have a high level of foot traffic but are simultaneously used for higher speed travel passing through instead?

Well, Southbury would probably be too far of a commute. Newtown would be a little long, over an hour or worse, but doable. The other towns obviously better, if they are on the pricy side maybe consider Bethel, I suppose schools aren’t as highly rated. There is also Monroe, Trumbull, Easton or Redding. All good schools, nice suburban towns. If the budget is good for it, Ridgefield has a really nice downtown, might be a little snobby though.

I can attest to RSV in central CT. Recovering from it now.

I realize this. I have 2 kids and a spouse in a public school system. It shouldn't have to be that way for students or teachers.

Imagine you manage to buy a house, Imagine you worked your ass really really hard, and you manage to buy a fantastic house in a nice area. Now imagine you start a Family and don't want to have a sedentary lifestyle and decide to go for a walk or let your kids play outside. Now take this one, You have no sidewalks c:

You did everything right but now you are throwing the dice every day to win the chance for a driver rolling you or your loved ones over because We NeEd To SaVe MoOoNey...

There’s Glazed Pottery in Glastonbury as well. Don’t know what shape your marriage is in, but I’d be happy to go ax-throwing with my husband.

$550K isn’t going to go very far in Greenwich, Stamford would be a better option but even there the housing market has gone crazy so your budget may not get you much there either.

For reference, my wife and I bought in Stamford in Jan 2019. 3-BR 2.5 bath, 1700 sq feet for 599k. Out neighbors in a very similar home sold their house last summer for over 700K. There were half a dozen offers on the first day it was listed and the buyer paid cash.

Thank you. I appreciate the info.

barely matches inflation rate and already down 2.7% yoy

only reason to buy a house is because it affords homebuyers massive gov't subsidized leverage, but entry price is important to long term gains

Eagles v chiefs hard pass

Animal Farm. Two legs bad, four legs good.

Thanks, I'll keep an eye on my niece.

They already do that. Two (or maybe three) tickets in less than two years and it’s mandatory driver retraining.
