Was initially interested in his candidacy, but THIS is where he started to lose my interest. Obviously, you need to be able to support your family but how out of touch to do you have to be to state that as a reason to become mayor....for the salary??!!

He was asked during an appearance Thursday on WNHH FM’s ​“Dateline New Haven” program why he is interested in running for the position — rather than starting out running for, say, alder.

He responded that leaving McKinsey will leave him without a full-time salary.

“For me to give up my job that is supporting my family, I need to be able to at least replace it with a salary,” he said.

>l about dinosaurs so we are doing the museum of natural hist

definitely not open. Not until mid '24, is what my understanding is. Can't come soon enough if you ask me!

They are very similar. I bought in Lower Westville last year (between Fountain & Chapel). I have family in Spring Glen, and spend a lot of time there for my young kid to see his cousins. They both have the same feel. Friendly neighbors/community/kids playing & riding bikes. The houses are close together & typically older. Neither is bad choice, and I my full response would be paragraphs long. Feel free to PM with questions, or come for a stroll around the neighborhood.

SPRING GLEN - will be easier to Buy, more inventory and slightly higher purchasing power. Best Video is there

WESTVILLE - much more practical commute to downtown, and more going on (Yale Bowl, Westville Music, restaurants/bars in the village)

For me personally, we did not have a DEADLINE to move and told our realtor "we would rather focus on Westville and hope the right house becomes available. If not, we know we would also be happy in Spring Glen"

Anecdotally, my wife is affiliated with the hospital and 2 of her co-workers recently moved (sight unseen) from out of state. Both ended up in Spring Glen because their realtors said "you do NOT want to live in New Haven!"....they both said they wished they knew this was an option when they drove down my street.
