Most of Connecticut is in the NYC metro area. In fact many of the most famous suburbs of NYC, and most important suburban business centers, are in Connecticut.

I usually agree with you but not here. Most of CT is not in the metro region and other than Greenwich I can't think of another famous CT NYC suburb and I live in this metro region.

That's why I said WITHIN 1,000 FEET of the coastline. Go on the MLS now and you will see that it's possible in CT. I know the coast is not on the ocean (it's on LI Sound), but it's still just as scenic as the ocean.

This article is so very WRONG and so very STUPID. It gets it wrong right out of the gate.

CLEARLY this imbecile did not bother to search the 4,000 threads with polls on C-D. Had he done so, he would know that DC, Maryland and Delaware are unequivocally Northeastern states, and that the Mason-Dixon Line is an irrelevant historical artifact that in no way, shape or form changes the fact that Maryland is 100% Northeastern. I will take the liberty of rewriting this wrongheaded statement.

There, much better.

NONE of CT is in the NYC Metro Area, in fact. Not a single CT county is included in the NYC MSA. Even if you're talking about CSA, that still leaves most CT counties NOT in the NYC CSA.

Most of CT is not part of, and doesn't even feel like it's part of NYC or the NYC metro area.

I disagree. Maryland is not part of the Northeast. I don't know anyone from MD that considers it to be part of the Northeast.

What are you talking about? Maryland is rude, arrogant and wealthy and people there live a fast-paced lifestyle.

I have to say, I instantly thought of this when I first saw the article. Whoever wrote this is clearly defining Northeast as not including MD and DE. Made me giggle given the CD obsessions lately.

Maryland is more Northeastern than Connecticut. Five of Maryland's counties are among the Top 20 wealthiest counties in the U.S. You know how many Connecticut counties made the list?

Zero. It's simply a lifestyle CT residents could never understand.
