I'm in Bloomfield every day it's not blighted. It's where the headquarters for Cygna are. It's just typical suburban Connecticut. By blighted, do you just mean that poorer people live there.
Where are you getting all these vacant properties from, just looking on Zillow I can count the number of foreclosures for all of these towns on just my two hands. Are you some kind of wannabe slumlord trolling real estate boards and complaining when all there is to buy is slums?

I’ve invested in a number of these towns and have seen the housing inventory. When you have to literally crawl on your hands and knees to reach the toilet in your apartment.. and that’s the standard for housing in the area, I’d call that a blighted area.

Bloomfield I would consider retracting from the blighted list. It’s not blighted be like those other towns.
