They probably own nothing of value. Income taxes are assessed on a percentage of income, so should property taxes.

Check Stamford's for 2017-2020. The mill rate for mv there is 27.25 but has been lower for real estate.
You are wrong. The MV mill rate is set by a towns board of finance. The town can choose to tax mv at any mill rate UP TO 32 mills. Real-estate and personal property mill rates are set separately.

That just isn’t true at all. I looked through the list and can’t find a single town that charges a higher mil rate on vehicles than on other property. The only time it differ is when vehicle tax is lower due to the state cap. This is publicly available information.

You’re not worth the effort to further explain.

Easiest way is to find local groups/outings/events for those interests you have. So stuff like open mic nights, jam sessions, various music events, etc might be a good option for you.

Your argument is constant surveillance. I literally just showed you how you are constantly surveilled and now you say it's a bad argument...
Just... wow....

Of course. That’s a horrible argument for this however.

I’m questioning that you saw someone in New Haven get pulled over for a traffic infraction. I’ve never heard of that happening. /s , but seriously… I’ve never seen it or heard of it happening. I know at one point in the 90’s the police were told not to.

It’s more the idea of constant surveillance. It’s the principle more than the act and is definitely a precedent setting / slippery slope situation.

Repeal seatbelt laws! This is a loss of our freedom of choice!
There's also no such thing as a "green light camera" and nothing in the bill is wholesale banning right turn on red. In dense downtown areas with a lot of pedestrian traffic, restricting right on red absolutely makes sense, in rural areas, not so much.
And regarding automated enforcement, do people really think stationing armed officers at a couple intersections around town to catch red light runners is the best means of enforcement? A camera works 24/7 and frees up officers to attend to actual police matters and not just traffic duty. I've watched officers pull people over for a couple days at a big problem intersection in New Haven - the issue is that once an officer is busy issuing a ticket, the intersection is completely unenforced for the next 10 minutes. Traffic duty is a strain on our officers and we have the technology to fix it. For the most part, the people scared of automated red light / speed enforcement are the ones who have enjoyed breaking the law to save 30 seconds on their commute.

How is this any different from seatbelt laws? Enough dumbass riders turn their heads into preventable cherry pie to create a burden on the rest of society.
Are you also going to fight against seat belts?

>A car is a convenience.
I agreed until you said that. A car is a necessity here. My job is 50 miles from where I live because it is in an expensive area but doesn't pay border town salaries. I cannot get to work without a car since public transit here sucks.
