Review of Connecticut, Connecticut


Connecticut's For the Rich
Star Rating - 10/9/2007
CT is a pretty state that has three fatal flaws:
1. For such a small state it feels very overcrowded and population density is high.
2. High cost of living including taxes on just about everything. They even charge you a property tax each year on your car, so if you buy a new(er) car expect to pay a couple of thousand each year.
3. Housing and land are cost prohibitive for all but the wealthy. Middle class feels the squeeze. Of course, the underclass gets a free ride on just about everything thanks to onerous taxes and ever-expanding social services. Wait till the State builds a methadone clinic in your town.
The best county is Litchfield if you can stand the long commute.
