How is the car not in your possession? Even if totaled it is still yours.

Yeah I wonder about that as well. 33° with a snowflake, OK. 34°..... maybe. But seeing a snowflake and 42°? No way.

TBH that's probably the best way to take it. Even if you could survive, your quality of life would be set back centuries.

You don't need to go that far inland. Just stay north of the Post Rd. The shoreline has enough elevation to slow down flood waters.

Us "twits who really live in NYC metro" wouldn't complain about a split. We'd easily be the wealthiest state in the nation, and your side would become West Virginia, but hey at least you'd have guns right? This is why we need gun control because you'll literally shoot your eye out.

Why don't they just make a new bridge if it's that old like they did with the Baldwin and Q?

The state just got $150 million from the feds to redo some portion of the bridge, so whatever they are doing is going to last for quite a while.

I don't believe they can turn off your power in the winter, so technically you would have until May 1st to pay your bills. Maybe if everyone just didn't pay until then they'd cave well before they could start turning people off for non-payment? A whole quarter of no revenue would be pretty devastating to the company, and quarterly earnings is the only language they seem to understand.

Because someone suggested buses running in HOV lanes as a solution. We already have that in Connecticut, so we should know whether that's a legitimate solution for this corridor or not because we have a decade's worth of data.

You should have seen it 20 years ago when it was being reconstructed. Today, you're looking at the new and improved CBX. Traveling through NYC during that time forced me to use 287 if coming from well into NJ, or doing the whole GW to HH Parkway bypass because it royally sucked trying to get through all that construction.

LA also has a shi*ton more highways. There's only the 6 lane 95 and 4 lane glorified road funneling traffic into the country's largest city here, and LA is also inland quite a bit giving it a lot more options.

How popular is CT FastTrak? That's a bus that rides in its own special lane that no one else can use.

There are usually shuttles in Greenwich, Stamford, and Norwalk that take you from a certain point where there are a bunch of office buildings straight to the train. I used to work in an office like that where there was a shuttle that ran all day and made 4 round trips per hour.

It's already pretty small compared to most states. Plus we're missing an entire level of government that most other states have: counties.

Take this one step further: you will be provided a roof over your head, health care, and even staples like food in exchange for your labor. That's where this is headed. I feel like we tried this once before though and it didn't end well.
