MASS is lowkey becoming MUCH MUCH better for blacksCT of all places
I rather move to Massachusetts to be honest. Way more varied housing prices, lesser taxes, more Black people, and way more varied job market
if you black in the Northeast, live in NY, NJ, MASS, or PA. everywhere else is a dub.

Yeah im from new haven.
honestly to me, the crime in CT cities is kind of overblown. The thing is its bad by a Connecticut standard, but not an american one, if that makes sense
compared to like a houston, atlanta, etc youre def wayyyy safer overall here lol. Most shootings and stuff are 95% on some personal beef.
my main gripe with the state is there’s literally nothing to do. I mean literally NOTHING. It is painfully boring, i go to new york at least two weekends a month. But im a young dude, if youre like 35 looking to settle with a nice house and wifey then it’s perfect.

Born n raised in CT, Hartford area.
Hartford suburbs is cool, ie Bloomfield, Windsor, East Hartford etc.
Good mix of people, ie you'll be exposed to pretty diverse crowds.
It's a slow state, bookended by major hubs, ie Boston/NYC.
Job market is not vibrant, I'd say.
I love it here but again, born n raised.

I'm from New Haven,CT born and raised. Majority black and brown cities in CT are New Haven, Hartford, Bridgeport, Waterbury & New London. I would say Bridgeport, Waterbury & New London is probably the cheapest areas to live in, but also nothing to do.

whats good my fellow new haven breh.
bro is it just me or are you bored all the time here too? Idk how old u are but im early 20s and I literally hop on the metro to new york to hang with my friends there any chance i get.
CT needs to build a megamall, new line of bars or some sort of attraction . I always wonder what do all the young adults do here. Vandome is played out for nightlife.
Casinos

From new haven, thats an 45-60 min drive with good traffic . And that doesnt answer the everyday “fun” stuff to do. In NY u can spend years trying new restaurants, new cafes, new bookstores, new lounges etc. if you grew up in new haven, or any city here, theres nothing “fresh” or new to find out. Its not a state geared towards the young social crowd i feel.But i guess theres only so much a small state like us can really offer.
Im probably going to move outta here to Houston, or Atlanta soon enough. New York spoiled me with the fast life, and tons of people to network and grow with.

I just read ur OP breh. Low crime, being around black ppl, and family vibes?
West Haven , Westville neighborhood of New Haven and Hamden definitely.
fyi : new haven is a ‘minority’ majority city. African American and spanish vibes the most.
To line it up for a NY breh:
bridgeport is straight up the bronx of CT. New Haven is Queens, hartford is brooklyn. Stamford is Manhattan. And everything outside of those cities is practically upstate new york.

Why not Jersey or Westchester County, NY instead OP?

Casinos are even longer of a drive for me
There are decent bars all over the state..couple museums and historical shyt..nice parks
Point taken though, it's very easy to be bored here. I definitely dont want to be on the side of arguing it's fun to live here.
If you have a nice core of friends then it's cool but that's with almost everywhere in the country. Many of my friends have moved out..I'm basically just here for my family at this point. Once I get better job prospects I'll probably sell and bounce
