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.

I'm ok with this if they make one other rule change. They won't so this sucks. My one change no team with a losing conference record can be in the tournament

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.

I know she meant it in a nasty way, but shouldn't one of the goals be doubling Hartford and New Havens populations and perhaps even tripling Stamfords population.

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.

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.

Tell Stratford they need to plan on a 2050 population of 75000, it's up to their local officials to decide how to zone the town to get there.

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%.

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.

Ned Lamont is a coward who would rather try and appease the far right than do anything even mildly progressive. If he chooses to run again he should run as republican

PhilScheid @zimbu.bsky.social · 26/06/2025
That fails because you'll never make the right happy. It pisses the base off because we don't want bipartisanship we want fucking results, and we've learned you give the right an inch they're going to demand a mile.

PhilScheid @zimbu.bsky.social · 26/06/2025
The lesson is simple, Democrats need to learn to stop running feckless cowards like lamont who sell out their true base to be bipartisan or worse appease the far right. That fails because you'll never make the right happy.
