i am very familiar with Monroe, i lived one town over. Beautiful place. But very very expensive in terms of taxes, and that’s what the state/town controls.

Oh man you are precious. Just keep making it up to fit The Narrative.

How did you conclude that Monroe CT had super low taxes? i’m dying to know.

CT state and local taxes are among the highest in the country.

Looks like your “data” ignored state taxes? that’s not putting your thumb on the scale

Saying a town in CT is low cost while
excluding state taxes, is like evaluating the maiden voyage of the Titanic while
excluding the iceberg.

Perhaps the people who made the list had different parameters to define affordable than you.
Most people do.
Let’s see what they considered

When determining the most affordable US cities with the best schools, Dwellics analyzed over 50,000 U.S. cities to compile a list of the Top 100: Most Affordable U.S. Cities with Outstanding Education. Among the ranking factors include taxes, child care cost, property prices, approximate rental or mortgage costs, and the cost of living index. For education, the ranking factors for cities included the average teacher salary, teacher-to-student ratio, math proficiency, reading and language arts proficiency, and the number of blue ribbon schools.

Just what parameters would you choose to consider, only the ones that fit your narrative?

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?
