Message: [QUOTE="HoopsFan21, post: 1564117, member: 3789"] It's not like Connecticut is losing people in droves: 2014: 3.597M 2013: 3.599M 2012: 3.594M 2011: 3.591M 2010: 3.577M 2009: 3.562M 2008: 3.546M 2000: 3.412M 1990: 3.292M 1980: 3.108M 1970: 3.032M The trend is still a net influx of people albeit in the 10s of thousands over the past decade or so. It's true the population is not exploding, but it's one of the most densely populated states already, where would we put additional people, and how would the infrastructure handle it? Connecticut still offers nice quiet safe suburbs with access to the biggest cities in the country, full government services, decent mass transit options, beaches, a couple of little hills that qualify as bunny slopes for snow sports, some of the best public and private schools, and proximity to the top universities in the country. There's still a lot of good stuff here even if many people refuse to see it or take it for granted. [/QUOTE]
