I've always liked living in Connecticut not for what's in the state, but for its proximity to other things. We're 90ish minutes from Boston, 2 hours from New York, 5 hours from DC, between 1-3 hours for great skiing, and no more than 30 minutes to beaches. We also have great hiking, especially in autumn with the foliage.

@RockyPondProductions 3 года назад

I wouldn't say CT is just MA without Boston. You cut Boston out and MA urban areas still outpace most cities in CT by a good bit. "Boston" as it's traditionally thought of is really greater Boston which at its widest definition includes Worcester, Cambridge, Lowell, Providence and parts of southern NH. If you took that out MA would be left with Greater Springfield and the Berkshires, that really wouldn't compare to CT either.

@garyspaziani1699 3 года назад

…and Whiffle ball was invented in Ct also !!

@RockyPondProductions 3 года назад

@Harry Engel Yep, Brookline boarders Boston so it definitely falls in the broad definition of Boston or Greater Boston. In Massachusetts you have the towns and cities that directly revolve around Boston (like Brookline) and then you have Worcester County. In between you have the metro west which isn't sure if it relates more to Worcester County or Boston. Worcester County and Boston do differ a good bit in culture even though the population density is pretty consistent from Worcester all the way east to Boston. The greater Springfield area is also densely populated but is more similar to cities in CT. Like I said even that isn't a perfect comparison because Springfield is bigger than every CT city.

@RockyPondProductions 3 года назад

@Harry Engel Interesting about Granville, it is a super small town but I was never aware of it's voting history. Yes Brookline is very affluent and a lot of wealthy people live there who have business or play sports in Boston but don't want to be in the city. I have a fun fact for you. Massachusetts is one of the most densely populated states (3rd in the US) but at the same time over 60% of it's land is forest (8th most forested). Pretty crazy for one of the most urbanized states and smallest in terms of land area to be mostly made up of forest if you think about it. Shows how much open land the United States has.

Born, raised, and currently living in Connecticut. This was extremely accurate! The biggest complaints people have about CT are taxes/cost of living, and our cities have high crime. But Connecticut is a beautiful state and I love living here. For sports, from what I’ve seen, we’re split down the middle. I see support from both Boston and New York teams. New Haven also has the best pizza ever, that’s just fact 😂

@ggolds5 3 года назад

My wife and I grew up in CT. I LOVE this state, education, salaries, democracy, closeness to NY and MA is great. We can do a day trip in CT through the state and MA and find something wonderful and new every single time we venture out. We have vacationed in RI and love it. Most of our family stems from NY and I was born in NYC, my wife's family NYC. A high majority of CT residents stem from NY families and lived there as well at some point in their lives. CT is a bit calmer then MA, and MA has very nice vacation areas like Marthas Vineyard but don't plan on living there if you can't spend more then 2 million on a house. Healthcare is great in CT. The town we now live in is great, as was the previous town. West Hartford and Farmington. People here overall are smart, polished, and the seasons here are great. Taxes are high but salaries are also among the highest in the country. A School counselor in Florida makes less then half of the their salary in CT. The offset of cost of living although lower in Florida is not nearly low enough to justify living there. Education there sucks, heat sucks, I mention FL. because a lot of CT people have second homes in Florida. LOVE Connecticut.

It’s obviously hard to know what exactly got me in haha, but my theory is that it’s because I made my passion for the school clear through my supplemental essays and had specific reasons why. I’m not a good writer, but I made sure I was really happy with my “why tufts” essay. Also if you are interested in Mr. Beat type subjects, I took one history class there and most of my friends did history or political science, and as far as I can tell everyone liked it!

CT native here- We invented and are some of the leading manufacturers of: the wiffle ball, the frisbee, the helicopter (Sikorsky Aircraft), and the submarine (Electric Boat). Bridgeport USED to be the manufacturing capital of the world before international trade popped off and most products and raw materials are processed overseas such as in China or next door in Mexico. Even at Sikorsky, where I work, we still *finish* the helicopters, but the majority of all the big components are now imported / contracted in other states or countries. Honestly, nowadays, it feels like nothing is ever being made here instate anymore, since all the big plants have moved further south where land is cheaper and taxes are less pervasive to business (if they are staying within the country, of course- plenty of factories are no longer domestic). Pretty soon, all the business that's done here will purely just be white collar office work, hence all the upper-middle class suburban neighborhoods being what most people think of when they think of Connecticut. Not saying that's inaccurate, that's where I've been my whole life, but there are pockets of somewhat rural areas in the northern bits, especially in the east where Storrs and my school, the University of Connecticut, is. The actual content of what goes on in the state may change, but the people that built this place up will always be the same: the majority of the population are Irish or Italian (I'm half and half) alongside the already existing British population, and when the mass migration waves were hitting the northeast in the early 20th century, a lot of those people actually came in straight through Bridgeport, in addition or rather than going through New York and Ellis Island first.

Massachusetts math teacher here. I think you did a spot on job comparing my state and "New York-achussetts" as we would call it. Obviously there is only so much depth you can go into in a video, but I think you might be interested in researching the level of tourism on Cape Cod. It has gotten quite high in recent years and I suspect it is one of the more frequently visited destinations in the the country. Thanks for another great video. My wife and I find all of them so interesting!

It featured people with decidedly thick Boston accents and photo vignettes of places all over Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island drinking Dunkin' and enjoying their donuts and other offerings. At the end someone in the video says something like "Hey, what about Connecticut?" The reply is simple. "What's a Connecticut?"

As a native of Connecticut’s rural north-central-eastern lands, I am proud to say that Connecticut, the nutmeg state (apparently named that way due to the booming nutmeg and other spice trade in our ports such as New London and New Haven in the 18-19th centuries btw) has, as of the 1st of July, 2021, our governor Ned Lamont (D) and the state senate and House of Representatives passed a law legalizing the recreational use of cannabis! The 20th state in the Union to do so! Huzza!

I can't imagine leaving MA for CT. I actually think they are really different. I live close to metro Boston and it's so different than what I've seen in the Hartford area. I have only passed through the NY metro area in CT when taking the train to NYC. It's looks vastly different than metro Boston area from afar.

Yep -this NY/NJ/CT area is #1 and Boston is waaay down the list.
