Connecticut ranked best state to live

[The Free North]

As someone who lives in the state, this has much more to do with the fact that CT is a small, highly developed state with wealthy suburbs all over the place and few (relatively speaking) poor areas.

In terms of HDI and other similar measures I believe that politics is not the main factor. Ultimately, its environmental factors that determine who moves there and how successful they are. Connecticut benefits from its geographical location more than anything else. While politics certainly have some sway, the biggest factor deals with geography.

Ultimately Connecticut benefits from being close to 2 major cities and having the wealthy suburbs without many of the inner city areas. Furthermore, the poorer areas of the state are not only offset by these wealthy areas but the rest of the state is fairly well off to due the states size, etc

Are you CT 4th as well?

Yes, its always interesting to see where the district falls on these type of studies given the tremendous inequality in SW CT.
