I really am starting to hate where I live... - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

They closed down the entire, ENTIRE center of town today, which is causing damn near gridlock for...not sure...I think a HS reunion. At least thats the only possible event I can fathom that would require the entire Milford police department to be paid overtime to shut down the center.

I am pissed because I spent the last 50 minutes trying to get myself out of it, all I wanted to do was grab a quick sandwich.

I hate this damn city so much, now we the tax payers get to pay the cops to close the road, so we can sit in traffic, so some well connected old farts can talk about there glory days.

Even though the large green which never has a problem with big fairs, isn't big enough. They need to hog the roads as well, and piss off all 55k people who live here.

At the next city meeting I'm going to ask if the school is paying for the cops out of their budget, because the all the taxpayers certainly shouldn't and in general complain about this BS. These are the same people who were screaming because the Alderman board was trying to slightly reduce the budget. Well if they have money for this BS, than we are paying to much tax still.

As soon as I get out of school and start to look for a house I'm out of here. Clinton, Guilford, or Brandford are calling me. I want a nice quite New England town, not something thats being taken over by New Yorkers. I can get more house in Guilford, with more property, and pay half the property tax, and not put up with BS like this. Not only that but the fishing is better. Sounds good to me!

Rant off.

Hat- There will come a time when you leave the place where you grew up and actually look forward to going back for a VISIT. Trust me.

Hatterasguy · #3 06-28-2008, 03:04 PM

Only for a visit though.

Don't know, maybe. This is an old area of the country, lots of things are from here.

The yacht club that I sail out of was built on the site of a fort that probably exchanged a few rounds with a couple of British ships as they went down to Greenwich.

Move out west

You need to move to my area. Green, nice temperment, no traffic, and best of all - limited cops.

Nah I'd never move out to CA, I like CT, and the east coast just not where I am now.

I have to be within no more than a 15 minute drive of salt water, so that limits me somewhat.

The boating and sailing around here is to nice to move away. Out in CA you can't go anywhere. They have a few offshore islands, and if you have a larger boat you go to Baja, or Alaska, thats it. On the east coast I can visit lots of places that are not to far away.

I grew up about four miles from where I live now (a real nice neighborhood in west Houston). I hated this place growing up, so I moved away, then moved back, then moved away, then moved back. Now I live here in the same 'hood I've always been in and I love it.
