Agree. I do the same drive to New Haven and take the express to Stamford (sometimes to NYC). We’ve probably been on the same metro north train many times - what time are you usually riding in the morning?

Could also live in Berlin + drive to New Haven and catch express train to grand central (metro north)

Nah, no transitive property on proudly proclaiming what you are vs. loudly denying you could be. See the landmark case of He Who Smelt It Dealt It.

You remain confused and very unfamiliar with the process for calculating the registration fee for a car in NH.
- You started this by claiming one must look at all the fees. Now you want to exclude sales tax from the analysis. That is flawed when doing a TCO. This thread is about all taxes, and sales tax is a major cost of ownership in any state with a sales tax!
- I didn't go into the full detail because it is complex. The NH rate drops 3 points per thousand per year. So my calcs are correct.
- Your statement about depreciation ignores that many in CT saw increases in their car tax over the last 2 yrs because of increases of used car prices! The value of each of our cars increased last yr in the CT tax calculation relative to 2021! And I know lots of others with similar experiences
- The NH rate is applied to the original MSRP, and the depreciation rate is fixed. That is far fairer than CT's arbitrary approach to attempt a (poor) measure of mkt value. Thanks to the weird used car mkt, most cars went up in value over the last 2 yrs, whereas NH's approach resulted in ongoing declines as the vehicle aged.
- We get it, you think CT should be made to look better than NH, but the only way to do that is to attempt to fudge the numbers. Fact is that NH's cost of registration for a car is far lower than CT's, all things considered including the sales tax one must pay in CT on every new or used car purchase.
I have no idea what your basis is for the claims on insurance. The majority of CT residents are in dense parts of southwestern CT and the middle of the state. I am aware of no evidence that is lower cost than southern NH. Plus, auto insurance is not a tax, and one has many choices in selecting an insurer. Certainly theft rates are better in NH.
Edit: Based on this data, NH auto insurance costs are materially below CT: https://www.bankrate.com/insurance/car/states/#rates

When I pray the Rosary, is it considered gauche to ask the Virgin mary to guide my sites to true aim for the pedophile target?
Also, how many beads should I devote to landmarks that fill the ER symbols in my bumper sticker?

I have friends in that neighborhood. They all invested in those delivery drop boxes. It's just shit like that and that's about it.

Reply to comment by JTMoney33 in Norwich or New London? by [deleted]
Norwich is probably going to have more in the way of detached houses, though if you’re looking to rent an entire house not in an apartment complex in either town you’re gonna be paying an arm and a leg. New London has a better night life than Norwich, though Norwich is closer to the casinos if that’s your style. Ignore people that talk down on either of these two towns, they’re both pretty good places. If you come here sometimes you hear people talk about crime in those towns but it’s basically because there was some crime back in the 90s and now it’s just where minorities live so older folk assume it hasn’t changed.

Nah tax receipts are up big time. The budget forecast doesn't even take any special federal funds into consideration.

I never said relying on our legal system is the argument against murdering people in the streets, I’m saying it is the alternative. The argument against murdering people in the streets should be self evident to anyone who is not a violent sociopath.

I basically grew up in Bridgeport and lived there for part of my adult life. The only reason I ever step foot back there is to visit my aunt and bass pro. There is nothing else worth going there for.

95% of the people complaining have never lived elsewhere. I swore I’d never move back here because it wasn’t an exciting state to me as a teen, but here I am. It’s so much better here than the several other states I’ve lived in. No contest. Quality of life is leaps and bounds better here. Very happy to be raising a family here vs. anywhere else I’ve lived.

Yes due to federal Covid money. Once that’s gone, back in the red.
