I love CT. I know I am in the minority here...but here is why

I live <1 mile from the sound, and < 1 mile from the CT river.
Great options for family boating (Sag Harbor, Greenport, 3 Mile harbor, BI, Mystic, Watch Hill, the list goes on)
Great options for fishing - all within about 10 mile from the dock ....Hatchet's, LSS, Plum Gut, Six mile, CT river, black point etc etc
great school in Old Lyme - top 15 in the state.
Less taxes in Old Lyme than i paid in Hamden for 2x the house and 3x the land
doesnt get ridiculously cold in the winter and doesnt get ridiculously hot in the summer


The grass isn't always greener on the other side.

I have had a few job offers to head to California, England, and Colorado... turned them down because i want to STAY in CT.

to each their own...
