I live in West Hartford, used to live in Downtown Hartford. I definitely feel less safe going about my life here. If you can find a spot in the downtown, I'd go there.

Edit: judging by the downvotes, people aren’t good at estimating safety. You’re far more likely to die commuting than you are from a random stranger.

I hope they’re finally putting up a tasteful nude of Sam Colt as I originally suggested.

Looks like it died in committee last year.

Eminent domain for proper bike infrastructure? Yes please and thank you

Boo-goddamn-hoo

I'd prefer to see climate activists dragging fossil fuel executives to the Hague.

Hey, don’t badmouth Blork.

Are you a wizard?

Fun details: the Merritt was built to relieve congestion on Route 1. The expressway that became I-95 was built to relieve congestion on the Merritt.

Route 1 remains quite congested.

Ban all single use plastic unless manufacturers pay for them to be collected and recycled.

Charge by weight to throw out items.

Mandate composting.

Nah; if the GOP is selling, I’m not interested in buying.

We are a serious state…

Now raise it and pin it to inflation.

Man, people are really thirsty for teen blood.

Neat; So I live in occupied Wangunk land?

If you have a gas boiler you can call a plumber or CNG; I've done both in the past. If you can wait to do it during the week, do that as weekend rates tend to be higher. FYI, CNG has service plans which will cover them coming out to fix your equipment. I learned this after my boiler stopped working last Xmas and got to pay premium rates for repairs.

I'd look at New Haven or points west along the rail line for your husband's commuting needs. Sure, he could drive in, but napping on the train is a fine way to pass the time as is laughing at people in traffic on 95.

There should an exclusion area around coastlines that automatically disqualifies buildings for disaster aid.

I was doing a business.

Look, I’m just going to tell neighborhood kids that Santa is tall.

Have your battery powered things charged up, have some flashlights, candles, food you don't need cooking. If you have extra space in your freezer, freeze some water to help keep things cold should the power go out. Some means of amusing yourself without power is good too; puzzles, games, books...

School busses should have cameras which can be submitted to police to write tickets.

Cool.

Bollards should be everywhere. Lining roadways, between bike lanes and car lanes, around parking lots. Bollards are beautiful.

Good luck to them; I can't really think of any action against the fossil fuel industry that I wouldn't support.
