Someone in Darien will discover an oil well in their back yard like the Beverly Hillbillies, and save us

Haha. Maybe they will ration, I don’t know, but the panic buying -I’ll have to save up some milk jugs I guess. Convert the well and septic

Connecticut Tourism kiosks and many Connecticut museum gift stores carry Connecticut stuff

I’ve only got a couple this year but I’ not in the Hayes/Logan battle zone

I got one from an org that wants to help me find my polling location. I know my location but almost wanted to text back yes to see if they sent me to the wrong one

Also got a whacked right wing parents rights/ school text with video about sex education from Passct dot org

Oh, so that is what “moderate” is. Cute

A women's homeless shelter or domestic violence shelter? If the latter, here is a more direct phone number instead of 211

Doesn’t it come from race horses? I know they tax racehorses, so, your Shetland ponies get it too. Just in case you race them, lol.

For what it’s worth, it sounds like a dumb tax. It’s like taxing my dog or cat

Just google it, I gave you two examples you could google and I am not even the one who made the point

You’re asking me or the other commenter? Because I just produced two when that person was hit up for receipts. You want receipts for those receipts?

You're not wrong though. Indirectly, through right wing causes. The NRA was raking in Russian money, so much that it collapsed when it was exposed and the money dried up. Plenty of receipts for that.

Trump Org, but its own admission, was getting its financing from Russian banks

What the heck has a bobcat ever done to you? I can’t think of a CT animal that messes with people less than a bobcat

I have really good strong doors, but I watched a bunch of YouTube videos one day about how to bear proof your home or cabin and saw some where bears just ripped through exterior walls, lol. I am now paranoid about every weak spot of the property. I also close windows in the kitchen when I am cooking.

I am being a bit of a wreck over worrying it but whatever helps you sleep at night

Weak spots on doors are usually the door jams. If they can lean or pick at the frame of the door and it’s weak, they can get in

Why the us vs them? Why the either or? Either charge nose bleed rents or sell the property? Not all landlords would agree

And handsome too, 😆

Interesting tidbit I read earlier this week.

Recovery in property values after the 2008 crash ( say from 2010 on) was the first housing recovery in our history not driven by homeowner/occupants but by investors in real estate, large and small. Truly a crime

Sharing this atlas in case anyone is unaware of it.

The articles are interesting but be sure to click through to the atlas itself. It’s interactive and loaded with information about each town’s zoning. It wasn’t possible to find this in one place before this atlas was created and it’s incredibly useful, especially if you are planning to buy a house or land or build or want to convert a barn to a guest house etc

One interesting fact from the articles, something I didn’t know: over 80-percent of residential land in CT has minimum lot size of an acre. That seems super high to me as almost every town has denser areas of 1/4 acre, and so many subdivisions too. Still not sure I really even believe it but that’s what it says.

Tall too

They are good at this. I am in mortal fear I will wake up to find one in my house.

I think you are supposed to report significant changes promptly. Maybe within 30 days? Something like that?

That looks like a rat snake and they can climb too.

I wonder if we could agree statewide, at least, that minimum square footage for a house can’t be set above X-sq ft by any town.

Some towns demand houses be a minimum number of square feet that is too big, unreasonably large.

I agree. I think they are suing the software company, not the landlords. It certainly isn’t an old fashioned kind of price fixing, more new territory thanks to gobs of data and AI. But there were also meetings with some of the largest owners/landlords who probably understood their data was in the mix and on some level shared. Of course they all research each other’s prices anyway. Will be interested to see where this goes. I think renters are being exploited definitely, treated extremely poorly

I’m pretty wary of it too. I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. The controversies are real and demand that people pay attention. It’s a big deal
