That is true. I live just a few miles from Bridgeport and it’s amazing how the landscape suddenly changes from million dollar homes on multi-acre estates to literally a third world country. In general, I stay away from the entire I-95 corridor.
That seems to be the third-world model. Haves and have-nots, no middle class. Seems to be the plan for the US last few decades.
Why would anyone want to do that on purpose? Answer: to be “in” on the “haves” side.
On a fairly regular basis I drive down to Greenwich to catch the Metro-North to Grand Central.When I do so I usually allow a little extra time to drive around the town,all the while fantasizing about what my life could have been like if I had put a little extra effort into schooling.One time my 20 year old niece,a child of the middle class,was with me and as we drove down North Street from the Merritt Pkwy we passed a huge house and,on seeing it,she exclaimed "it looks like the friggin' White House!"
And the funny thing is that she was right.

I spend some time in some of the better parts of CT during the summer. Always feels like I’m in a Gatsby novel around Southport, etc.
