"Other than taxes, there is really nothing to complain about in Connecticut."

Usually ranked in the top 3 states for taxes. Highly regulated, heavily unionized, high cost of living, decidedly 2A unfriendly...

(New Jersey has all of that, too, but at least it has nice beaches and tomatoes.)

On the bright side, all those smug liberals there will be overrun in days by the vermin in the close in major liberal cities. That NE alley is going to be a bloody pit when the SHTF and the gibsmedats find out the EBT no longer work, the stores are looted and empty, and they can only go as far as a tank of gas will take them.

That means Conn. with restrictive 2A laws and helpless honkies, hoooyahh!

Taxes are really the only complaint. But my taxes would be high in New Jersey and New York as well. If you work in Manhattan (like I do), I think Connecticut is the better of those three states to live in. The Metro-North commuter rail out of Grand Central is much better than LIRR and PATH system (to Jersey). Connecticut, at least the Fairfield County portion of it, has some of the best real estate in the world. I'm only an hour out of Manhattan and I have a three acre lot surrounded by thick woods and lush gardens. The home I live in here would easily cost three times as much if it was located on Long Island or eastern NJ.

The beaches in CT aren't that great because you are looking at Long Island across the way and it doesn't really feel like you are on the ocean. But I usually take a week or two in summer and go to a real beach area like southern coast of LI or Outer Banks of NC. Yes, NJ has some nice beaches too.
