Kinda, but it also benefits from the location as well. CT cities are a bit Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Cities like Stamford and Norwalk are thriving. Bridgeport and New Haven are up and coming and Hartford and Waterbury are just plain depressing.

I don’t think Hartford is “depressing” nor do I think New Haven is “up and coming” but that’s just the experience I have in both places. They both have very solid identities.
Is it possible that you just find them as such and your experience in them is a bit limited?

I graduated from college near New Haven in 2000 and during the the time I was there I saw a significant improvement in NH. Hartford was always kind of bland and boring, but it also had some dangerous neighborhoods. I also have a lot of family in friends in CT so I do go from time to time when I'm back in the States

I was actually in that area a couple years ago and I saw mostly the same thing. NH was pretty good, Stamford was becoming less sterile and Hartford was still "meh."
