Means nothing BB. The Cost of living is guite a bit higher CT.

The cost of living in New Haven, CT is 19.0% higher than in Houston,
TX.
And most people moving to CT get an average raise of 5.1% lowering the
standard of living 13.9%.
Plus you live in a climate that only allows you to sail half the year,
lowering the quality of life by 50%.
You have a state income tax, we do not.

Must suck to be stuck in CT.

Our per capita income, (which includes poor saps at your economic

I live in an economic climate that allows me to go anywhere I want if
I desire to get some sun in February. You are stuck with flat, hot,
characterless, TEXAS. POOR *******!

Not a problem. Do you think that a state with no income tax doesn't
have another way of extracting money? The income tax is graduated.
Sales tax hits the poor like you a lot harder than it does someone
such as me. I'll bet Texas has plenty of taxes, and they are
regressive.

If only you could afford to come and see for yourself!

OK Hartford is a **** hole, lets look at Stamford CT

A person making 100K in Houston will have to earn 158,938 dollar in
Stamford just to maintain the same standard of living.

Bwahahahahaha no wonder everyone is leaving CT. That and it's toooooo

Our sales tax is 6%. If you knew anything about how taxes work, you'd
know that the percentage by itself doesn't mean much of anything.
Politicians can raise taxes by enormous amounts without changing that
percentage. You are paying a much larger percentage of your income in
taxes than I am.

Oh, and you are right that if an uneducated Texas day laborer moves to
Connecticut, he will probably only get a 5.1 % raise. We really don't
want, or need, to attract you to come here. Where would you live?
You'd have a much harder time finding a trailer park. We don't really
have very many compared to Texas.

This is a list of the 100 richest places in the United States,
regardless of population or number of households. These rankings are
typically not used when describing the richest places, because
locations with very small populations may have high per capita incomes
due only to a few high-income individuals.

Ranking of states with places in the top 100, from most to least: New
York 16, Florida 15, California 14, Texas 6, Illinois 5, Missouri 5,
Pennsylvania 4, Michigan 3, Minnesota 3, New Jersey 3, Wisconsin 3,
Delaware 2, Indiana 2, Kansas 2, Kentucky 2, Maryland 2, North
Carolina 2, Ohio 2, Washington 2, Alaska 1, Arizona 1, Colorado 1,
Connecticut 1, Louisiana 1, Massachusetts 1, Tennessee 1. Twenty-four
states do not have any places in the top 100.

Many years ago, went for a job transfer interview with Combustion
Engineering, in Windsor, CT. Job interview in May. Living in Tulsa
at the time. Came home and my wife and I struggled with whether we
should or could afford to take the job given the difference in the
cost of living, and particularly housing.

That weekend it snowed in Windsor. Snow in May? No more struggling,
decision made.

It is very pretty country though, in the townships not the cities.

My favorite part of this thread is that the subject line was "You POOR
*******s", and look who just can't stay away! Fortunately, it sounds
like you can't remotely afford Connecticut. That's absolutely fine
with me! Pretend to hate it all you want.

You'll note that people in Connecticut never go out of their way to
correct anyone who thinks he's a Texan. It's an embarrassment. Saying
he's a "dumb Texan" is so easy to sell.

I liked the part where you BB, the Harvard grad, fell for a ploy for
your state to lure suckers.
All your income goes to over-priced housing, taxes, and fuel and food.
Your crime rates are higher
and if you are an example of the average CT person, then the state is
full of asshole idiots.

But my very most, favorite part, is you avoiding the subject of your
cracked keel boat.
The boat that's..... still sitting in a parking lot .
The boat you can not use half the year....

Sheeeze... at least Robert Brody knows when to slink away in

I would say it's impossible to maintain the same standard of living in
Connecticut. Most places are crowded & dirty, poster settings for
"urban decay" yet with very high rents.

Somebody should explain to Binary Bill what "per capita" means. The
average personal income in eastern Connecticut is so high because of
all the Wall Streeters who have homes there and are flown into the
city by private helicopter every morning. Meanwhile, everybody else is
pretty much stuck in a rut.... they aren't even allowed to drive thru
the neighborhoods which jack up the average so much.....

Good call IMHO.
Back in the mid-90s I started getting job offers from some big
companies, usually headquartered in Jersey bust ome in NYC. They
offered twice what I was making here in NC, a few even tossed in
corporate incentives; in no case was I seriously tempted. I may have
been in the rat race down here, but I don't have to go home to a rat
pit at the end of the day.

Another issue of course is that my wife is very content with her
career at a world-renowned university medical center.... we were
slightly tempted a few years ago when she got a very very generous
offer from an equally renowned place in Cali, and I shopped for (and
got) a job offer out there too. But a walk in the woods with the dog
convinced there was nothing out there... not even sailing on SF
Bay.... worth the added hassles.


It is very pretty country though, in the townships not the cities.


As long as you don't have to drive in the traffic, most of NW
Connecticut is very pretty. That's one reason why the Indians are
buying it back!

I remember he once posted about some "imagined" experiences he had in

he had his supposed misadventures.

Excuse me?
Can you provide a quote to this "imaginary" post of mine.

He originally claimed he was in Mystic

I have been to Mystic many times. Should I stop by and visit next time
I go thru the neighborhood?

Eighteen percent of Texans, and 25 percent of Texas children, lived below the
federally defined poverty level, according to the 2005 American Community
Survey. The nationwide percentage below poverty level was 13 percent.

Something is cracked, but it obviously is not my keel!

Well since your state is about the size of Harris County (Houston) and
has twice the population it must be like living in a sardine can.
Bwahahaha only one state smaller. You goofs have over 10 times the
number of people per square mile as Texas.

BTW your boat sits on the hard more than half the year so you pay
twice the amount it cost others to sail.

With that cracked keel swelling and shrinking every year must be
ruining that C&C of yours Billy Boy.

Texas GDP 903,208,000,000.00

Don't need to.

In other words, you made it up because you are insecure and bitter;
you make up for your pitiful life by trying to point out how rich
people in your state are (but not yourself) and wishing death on
others.

No wonder you are desperate to hide your identity.


Personally, I doubt you have ever been in Mystic.

Doubt it all you like. You're wrong, as usual.
