Reply to comment by mkiv808 in New to New haven, recommendations please by ldelizabeth

You’re wrong. People love cops in Florida. In New Haven all the woke losers want them defunded. Wake up junior, it’s not a utopia, it’s a big tax break for a juggernaut. If Yale was truly progressive they start cleaning by up the outer areas of their main campus. They don’t do shit for the community.

Yale could certainly do more. But they did just increase their voluntary payment.

They say that whenever they’re under pressure. They have a war chest that rivals a small country. They’re getting away with murder financially yet you embrace them? It’s a dump, you have no idea what you’re talking about. I grew up there.

You’re conflating the argument here. I’m not defending or “embracing” Yale or arguing that they have insane amounts of money and could do more for the city.

I’m saying that the idea that Florida cities are safer, or Florida overall is safer is not correct, and neither is the idea that New Haven is unsafe outside the campus. Parts of downtown outside Yale, East Rock, Westville, Wooster Square, Prospect Hill, Morris Cove, East Shore, City Point are all safe areas outside of Yale.

Get on Dixwell tonight around 1 am and head towards Hamden and let me know how it goes.

Wow, I didn’t think of that. Golly.

I’ve been on that stretch many times. Sometimes late. I worked on the edge of a bad area of Fair Haven for years (and nothing happened).

Yeah, Dixwell/Newhallville is rough. What’s your point?

Also, nothing is going to happen driving that stretch at 1am. I’ve done it many times. 😂

It’s been a war zone for decades. Yale has done nothing to improve the area. And they never will.

The bad areas of New Haven don’t hold a candle to some of the hoods in Dade and Broward county lol.
