I'd have to say based on my perspective, the most decrepit looking state I've been in was Connecticut. Now I know there are nice parts to it, very wealthy parts in fact, but I once got lost in Hartford. ;)

CT looks like a state that overdosed on liberalism, taxes and "All Things Considered". A mess, in other words.

LOL ... that's because we keep all the NICE parts hidden. Call the "2T Tourist Bureau" ... next time, I can even show you the nice parts of Hartford ... um ... forget what I just said. &;-)

As a resident (in a nice rural part of the state) I have to agree with your assessment.

Connecticut's cities are horrible beyond belief. The capital (Hartford), as you obviously found out the hard way, is one big slum from end to end.

New Haven is Yale surrounded by slums.

Waterbury is horrible.

Bridgeport and Stamford have a few wealthy areas surrounded by terrible slums.

New Britain is probably the worst small city I have ever seen with downtown a 24-7 hangout for some of the creepiest characters on the planet. And on and on it goes.

We have Dodd and Lieberman for Senators, a Congressional delegation featuring two RINOS and a left wing crazy woman (DeLauro).

The cities are cesspools of corruption. FBI investigations have recently nabbed three mayors, and probably they could round up the rest with a little effort. The Feds and State have poured billions of dollars into them enriching the politically connected while the cities look worse every year.

The new immigrants have been very poor and unable to speak English, and they are the only growing part of the population.

The state politicians are totally clueless, and they flee to the suburbs at night like everybody else.

After seventy years of liberalism our state has become like a third world country, with the highest per capital income in the country (thanks to all the inflated NYC salaries paid to Fairfield County residents) in a sea of poverty and misery.

Since the state has been, is, and will be continued to be run by liberals for the forseeable future (since the Rats control registration in the cities by a 10-1 margin) the state is on a slow and steady decline.

(So some Freeper is going to ask--why are you there? And the answer is--if you move far enough away so that the only sounds you hear are birds amd crickets, the state's natural beauty is untouchable :-) )
