Yet you've chosen to go to school and live there. Must not be that bad.

Reply to Here’s what to know about CT’s ‘clean slate’ law, which erases some criminal records by NicoleMcIsaac
How about erasing arrest records where the charges were immediately dropped. Lots of people out there who never did anything wrong, but got arrested anyway and had the court immediately drop the charges. That arrest record follows you for life and screws you if anyone does a deep background check.
Cops can arrest you, immediately release you, and you now have a permanent record haunting you.

I like living in a coastal town but not being on or super near the water due to flooding issues with storms. All coastal towns are pricier though, even the less posh ones. Summer people suck though, but it also means we tend to have more restaurants and amenities.

Everyone wants to talk to you if you’re going on a walk. Off leash dogs. Everything else is really nice love living a stone’s throw away from the ocean.

Reply to Bird rehab center calls for ban on rodent poisons after bald eagle, red-tailed hawk sickened in Connecticut by jaydecay123
We live out in the woods because it's what we could afford and when you live in the woods you get a lot of mice.
For years we stuck to traps but they number of mice was overwhelming. We could burn through the big box of traps in a week. We also did all the mitigation strategies recommended by folks online and exterminators.
We finally caved and switched to bait boxes and have had almost none since.
If there was an effective way that wasn't poison, we'd take it, but afaik there isn't one yet.

In fairness more burnouts means more tire purchases so tire rack gets the last laugh

There’s plenty of housing in Bridgeport. Anyone complaining about “nimbys” can move there

Cats are often not that great at efficiently killing rodents (a working dog would likely be better for that). None of my childhood cats had much interest in doing more than slowly torturing or dismembering the occasional mouse. I would also personally worry about the spread of toxoplasma from mice to pet cats.
The welfare of cats as dedicated mousers is also often highly questionable at best, depending on the situation. For instance, the most beloved barn cat at my mom's barn was just killed by a group of coyotes as he was essentially allowed to free-roam.

Sounds like you should move back to CT which aligns with your values rather than complain about how “Southern” states are so bad

I had a dog pass away because of rodenticide at just five years old. Ban the shit.
