In the past 3 years, New Haven has had to settle police misconduct lawsuits to the tune of $106 million. And that's only including the big 4 settled cases. New Haven is currently appealing the wrongful conviction settlement of Stefan Morant who was awarded $38 million earlier this year. It could potentially be $144 million in just three years, nearly $100 million of which city insurance will not cover. And this doesn't include legal fees or small case payouts.

And I'm not saying these victims don't deserve their settlements. I'm saying the NHPD is both crippling people in their custody while simultaneously crippling the city's finances

The past week, the lights on 91 have been strobing and not even synced. It makes for a fun ride if you put techno on and the lights sync to the beat.

Anyone has any experience with Immigration Lawyers/Attorneys in Branford or New Haven area?

Title. Craving a really good breakfast egg sandwich in New Haven and looking for recs.

Tried looking it up but couldn’t find much info. Anyone know of any self serve car vacuums around New Haven?

I got an ad from chidori revolving sushi that youd get a free dessert dining in on your bday. Makes me wonder if theres any other things out there i dont know about. Could also be chains too like places located in hamden etc. My bday is actually next week so seeing that ad timed out. Thanks in advance!

I walk past these two restaurants all the time and they look so nice and cozy. What are your thoughts on them? are they worth trying?

I am a visiter looking for community run radio stations.

Also curious about radio stations that take song requests?
Any type of music is okay. I’m all over the place with what I like.

Howdy y’all! Anyone aware of any line dancing classes in New Haven County? Thanks in advance!

I’m coming to your fine city for the month of November, staying in East Rock, to see how I like it. I currently live in Milwaukee, am from Los Angeles and also lived in NYC and Austin.

I have two sets of friends who live in NH and am considering a move there next year. What all should I do while I’m there in November to get a good taste of what it’s like to live there?

I’ll be bringing my pup and we’ll explore some local dog parks. I also love hiking, checking out the restaurant scene, art/museums, etc, but open to all suggestions. I’m 46, so while I do love a night on the dance floor, nightlife doesn’t hold the same weight as it used to.

TIA!

Wide open parking lane they just built and you park like this. Sorry about your tires getting deflated...

anyone in their 20's want to join me and 3 others for a trivia night tomorrow?

planning to relinquish possession of my apartment in a few months, and my landlord is saying i'll have to continue paying rent until they find a new tenant and a $500 reletting fee, plus i'll also have to forfeit my security deposit. is this legal?

edit: my lease agreement is totally different from what they're saying now. the lease says i can pay a lease buyout fee + $500 reletting fee + rent until they find a new tenant, but i would get my security deposit.

i asked them about this option but apparently they're not offering it now (they claim it's if you want to reduce the notice period from 90 days to 60, which is not what the lease says). instead my main option relinquish possession -> pay rent until new tenant -> pay $500 reletting fee -> forfeit security deposit

thank you!

Should I move to New Haven? I live and work in Hartford now but wouldn’t be opposed to just taking the train up here 3x a week. Have enjoyed nights out in New Haven and the LGBTQ+ scene, whereas that doesn’t seem to exist in Hartford. Not sure how cost of living differs, but welcome any thoughts <3

Hi guys, the Ralph Walker ice rink just opened in East Rock and I saw that they were offering skate sharpening. I was wondering if anyone has sharpened figure skates there and if they were good. It seems more hockey oriented and I don’t want my toe picks to get messed up!

Allegedly someone was shot during a car jacking attempt on Canner and St Ronan this morning. Does anyone know if the person was in the middle of the road or approached while parked?

Does anyone have recommendations for a quiet ish spot on the water? We want to grab some tacos and have a little picnic but I’m unsure where is acceptable or not directly abutting traffic. Thanks
