Reply to comment by EscapeFromTexas in Is Fair Haven really that bad? by EscapeFromTexas

I’m on front myself. It’s perfectly fine and although controversial, it’s gentrifying quickly. A great place to live and that oyster bar is amazing fwiw

I get the feeling that a lot of the negative posts are people who are uncomfortable in ethnic spaces.

New Haven and fair haven did used to be much worse. In the 90s and early 2000’s crime was pretty bad. It’s completely turned around now I’d say since 2012-2015. But you’ll still hear the boomers talk about how “dangerous” it is cuz they watch the news all day. This area in the city is awesome. NHV is hands down the best city in CT

I’ve been here only for a few months and I love it. Feels like home for the first time in a long time.

Ehhhh ever been to Stamford...? Stamford Center itself wrecks new haven.

"NHV best city" just wow...best city for what? Seriously name 3 bests please(not yale).

Best Spot to jump on the train and leave, maybe. Best pizza, definitely the best pizza in CT...truth. Best barbers in CT...I'd say yes, but I want an excuse for pizza (:
