Here is a map of current apartment listings. On the 'options' menu, select 'noise'. And it will show you a heatmap of the loudest parts of the city.

If you've got a bicycle id honestly recommend just cycling around to the different neighborhoods in the city. There is so many little interesting stores, restaurants, parks, & architecture, to see.
Head on down to long warf and smell the stinky harbour, and food trucks.

I mean, is that really that surprising though?
Republicans have always been about enriching themselves and their elite friends/family at the expense of their voters. They're hypocritical to the bone, and have no shame about it.

They're the same thing, actually.
As climate change constrains and limits resources ^((uninhbitable land, reduced food production, unpredictable weather harming logistics, etc.)) Coroporations and governments come into more and more competition over them. When you pair a shareholder-capitlaism economic model that demands infinite growth, with a world of shrinking resources, you inevitably create conflict.
In that environment, you cannot afford to invest resources in preparation/prevention, because every $ MUST go to shareholder value. So inevitably, you don't manage your risks and then catastrophe strikes becuase climate change has altered the actual risk scenarios.

He's saying that Uconn keeps out the Poors, and thus is more cultured.
As a Uconn Alum:
Uconn's undergrad education is shit, and not any better than a state school.
The reason you go there is 100% for Networking and Job Opportunities. So his point is somewhat correct: the difference is a Class Barrier.

I agree, lets also restrict water usage for any for-profit usage of land.

Great, then drop the 'Assault Weapons ban' rhetoric, because that did not work, and would not be effective today.
Heres a video about an actually viable gun control strategy, based on actual indicators of who the 'Bad Guys' with a gun are.
You may notice that CT implemented points 1 & 2 to some extent in their Sandy Hook reforms.

I firmly disagree with your claim that state laws don't work.
Here in the northeast, we have stronger gun laws, and we have way fewer firearm deaths per capita, and fewer mass shootings. CT has some of the strictest, and we haven't had a mass tragedy since they were implemented after Sandy Hook.
What gives us the right, to impose our values onto other states 100s to 1000s of miles away?
They're perfectly capable of fixing this problem whenever they want deomcratically... Clearly they don't want to.
You should plan accordingly, and not live there.

'Assault weapons' do not make up a significant portion of crime. Less than 5% of firearm homicides, in fact i think its closer to 1% last time i checked.
The thing that worked, here in the state of connecticut, was creating a permit process with an educational requirement, and tying all firearm and ammunition sales to a permit/certificate. You know, a vetting process.
I personally find this whole discussion exhausting, because CT already fixed our gun problem 10 years ago. We haven't had another tragedy since then.
Its other states with loose laws having these tragedies, and they will continue until they get their shit together. We already got our shit together.

Ideally greenways should be for all forms of Human-speed transportation. I have no idea what the actualy city policy is, though.

I would agree that they should have used a much stronger material for the bollards. The plastic is just way too easy to break off, and that kind of defeats the purpose of protecting the bike lane.

I'm still not super sold on the cycletracks, as opposed to normal bike lanes. They create dangerous counter-traffic wherever they end/begin.
But I'll take all the separated bike inrastructure we can get. This addition will work well connected to the new Edgewood Bike lanes.

You literally just described "traffic calming" infrastructure design.
which for what it's worth, new haven is doing with it's new intersection and road improvements throughout the city.
