It costs atleast $400 per square foot to build a home in Connecticut. Doesnt matter if its a single family home or an apartment in a multi unit building. The only way to get brand new affordable housung is if the government funds a big chunk of that.

There needs to be 1 rule for the ncaa tournament, aka march madness, no team with a losing conference record can be in the tournament unless they win the conference tournament

Jim Mora thoughts. He was absolutely the coach UConn needed and he accomplished everything we could've asked for. But I dont think he was truly invested here. It was just a job and he gave the job his best. But he never particularly liked the job. It was a useful job at the time but not a career.

Ned Lamont talks a good game on Housing reality he gets a D. On Climate change again all talk reality he gets an F. He loves UConn when the sports teams win but UConn and higher ed another big fat F. Knows we need to grow and create vibrant cities but actual policy a D. And a D for public transit.

UConn should be 11-0 and all of us loudly arguing about why UConn is undefeated and still has 5 G5 teams ranked above them in the playoff rankings.

Any Democrat who votes for this horrible "compromise" to reopen the government should be immediately expelled from the Democratic party.

Ned Lamont needs to drop out of the governors race and he should resign. He's not up for the moment on any of our biggest issues. Housing, Climate, Transportation or the republican parties total descent into fascism.

This team could've been 7-0, probably should've been 7-0. Just win out and be 10-2.

The way to reduce crime isn't mass incarceration, it isn't more crimes getting the death penalty. It's ending poverty, ending homelessness, treat addiction and mental illness. Universal Basic Income, build more homes of all kinds, including rooming houses, supportive housing, invest in healthcare

Every town in The State of Connecticut should be required to plan for a 25% population increase by 2050. So 1% a year. Our cities and inner ring suburbs should be planning for a minimum of 50%.

Today’s news about the Connecticut Sun is just further proof the WNBA is engaging in antitrust behavior. The league should be taken to court and made to eat shit. Fuck them.

Ned Lamont is the worst Democratic Governor on climate change in the country. F on Housing, F on Mass Transit, D on Highway Expansion, F on Renewable Energy. Talks a good game and then wimps out to appease the far right and the ignorant conspiracy theory believing anti science crowd.

Assuming your correct and deficits matter(that's a different discussion), but for this we'll say they matter. It still says alot about you that war and tax breaks for rich, oil companies etc, are more important to you than food and Healthcare for the people.

Apartment complexes should be required to charge separately for parking, reduce rent by $200 a month. Charge $175 a month for 1 spot, $450 for 2 spots, if they happen to have 3 spots available $750.

This is the most tragically American thing I’ve ever read www.nytimes.com/2025/05/12/u...
Rebecca Jaramillo stepped out of the Santa Fe jail and into the cold one night in January 2021. After two days in a cell, she was free, but no one was there to pick her up. So, with a snowstorm coming, she began the long walk toward town.
The jail in Santa Fe, surrounded by barbed wire and tumbleweed, sits on a remote stretch of highway far from the city's bustling plaza and historic churches. It is nearly two miles down the highway to the closest gas station, three miles to where a sidewalk starts and eight miles to the nearest homeless shelter.
Ms. Jaramillo, 33, made it only about a mile from the jail that night before she was hit by a sheriff's deputy driving a police pickup truck at 57 miles per hour. Her body was thrown more than 100 feet, and she was pronounced dead at the scene.Ms. Jaramillo, who was struck by the sheriff's deputy in 2021, had once worked as a correctional officer herself at a jail not too far away before falling on harder times. She had been booked into the jail for trespassing at a homeless shelter that banned her. A police report from the crash said she had been walking in the middle of a lane on the highway.

Why does everyone just assume Devers is going to be good or even barely adequate at 1B. This team needs someone at first who is above average defensively. I agree with Devers go freaking trade for someone.
