1# ”i’ve been living in west-hartford for almost 15 years, the first thing that comes to my mind is, it's a safe place also it’s quiet, decent neighbors, i also think it's a good lace to raise kids and family. Education Is goo, even though it’s a little bit slightly expensive, you get what you paid for.”
2#” also i think the majority resideances and clases are slightly different or higher in terms of education and also i think the level of safety or crime i would say it's way less than hartford and i think in term of population in hartford a the capital of connecticut it's crowded it's trafficked theres is a lot of businesses”
3# well i think safety is a major thing and also it depends on the category of people, for example in my area i think west hartford is close to hartford university and i see of of student from out of state or countries and also i think in term of business wise. I think hartford is better than west hartford since it's slightly expensive. So i think it's challenging to conduct a businessin west hartford and also people come to west hartford for medical care”

1#“I’ve lived here for over five years, yeah but um safety is the biggest thing right. I’m never really concerned when i'm here… i don’t feel uncomfortable. I’ve lived in new york city before and it’s a really different environment. You have to be very observant. This how i grew up. My wife grew up here, it's quiet people kind of just, you see you’re neighbors but theres not too much craziness.
2” tto me i would the biggest thing is gonna be socio-economic, you know the housing prices are expensive, especially during the pandemic, im sure that many people would want to transition here but then it's like…especially a lot of people were coming out after the pandemic, new york and all these other places. And once you have economic concerns like resources and money that of course cause what, elevation of crime and that’s the biggest thing that people are trying to do through crime is to increase and you can see those differences”
