Don't know how familiar you are with Connecticut and its rich but I'm somewhat familiar with towns like Weston,New Canaan,Darien and Greenwich.It seems to me that the rich in towns like that have a good portion of their wealth tied up in their houses....houses in towns like that start at a couple of million and go up to 30 million plus.
If they try to leave they need to sell their houses...but to whom?
Actually Connecticut is one of the few states I have never been to!
So not familiar at all with it.
