Connecticut is the state best positioned to benefit from climate change

Date: April 29th, 2026 9:44 AM Author: Adamo Tuti (⚖️) Why? It will remain livable for the next 50+ years. If you're thinking about investing long term money in real estate, there are many practical reasons why CT will, on a relative basis, exceed current value.
Everywhere we've seen massive pop. growth (FL, TX, AZ, NV, Carolinas, GA, CO) - the main drivers have been weather, lifestyle, taxes.
CT has a different profile - water (lots of it), tree cover, four seasons, extremely dense infrastructure, proximity to NYC and Boston, strong institutions, relatively high HHI, moderate climate extremes.
Here is why you should buy in CT if you have a 20+ year horizon on capturing massive upside in value... 1) The winters will warm. In 2050 CT winters will be more like a mild Mid-Atlantic winter is today
2) CT is probably the most water-rich state in the country (average daily surpluis of many many million gallons of high quality water). Almost every single climate model projects even more precipitation (albeit w/ more extremes like heavier rain, flooding, summer drought) but in every scenario precipitation will increase by at least a few inches every year.
2a) Of all the water-rich states, CT has the most robust infrastructure (2500 public water systems, tons of private and public commercial activity and the highest quality standards (e.g. no wastewater discharge into drinking water).
3) CT springs & summers will get warmer but on a relative basis will be great (starting from much lower baseline). People are going to pay a huge premium 20+ years from now for decent summers, reliable water, tree cover, reduced exposure to catastrophes.
4) Way lower wildfire risk than most of the US. This will matter for mortgages, insurance, property value
5) There is a ton of rural area/country with proximity to real cities/economic centers without proximity to risky urban areas
6) Growing/agricultural seasons improve. Upside for gardens, orchards, vineyards, farming. Warmer, wetter New England = more stuff will be grown here.
Coastal CT has real risk (storm-surge) but even there you should distinguish between elevated inland property. |

how does a densely populated state the size of some large suburban counties, situated between two very large metros, have "rural" areas? |

Date: August 6th, 2026 4:24 PM Author: exhilarant tattoo “Rural” here is obviously different from true Rural ‘Merica. (https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5861573&forum_id=2#50049900) |

Date: August 6th, 2026 4:25 PM Author: Talented location jewess I imagine "rural CT" to be like farmy towns of 3-5k people, but still within 20 mins of civilization. (https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5861573&forum_id=2#50049905) |

Date: August 6th, 2026 4:27 PM Author: exhilarant tattoo Yeah that’s spot on, but the towns often have their own locally owned grocers, bookstores, utilities and services, and other things that any proper Liberal would want. (https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5861573&forum_id=2#50049909) |

Date: August 6th, 2026 4:21 PM Author: Talented location jewess weird flame targeting CT specifically. There are tons of other northern states with just as much if not more waterfront. Maine??? (https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5861573&forum_id=2#50049892) |

Date: August 6th, 2026 4:22 PM Author: exhilarant tattoo Maine is pretty poor. An economic backwater. But I wouldn’t mind living there assuming I didn’t have to work. (https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5861573&forum_id=2#50049895) |

Date: August 6th, 2026 4:23 PM Author: Talented location jewess so were all the other states listed prior to people moving for climate reasons. If everything in OP occurs, why wouldn't people move to places like Maine which are very cheap as opposed to places like Connecticut which are pricey?

Date: August 6th, 2026 4:28 PM Author: exhilarant tattoo Hey man idk I’m not the OP. But a lot of CT is affordable for anyone UMC, especially the high Net Worth assholes on this bort. (https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5861573&forum_id=2#50049914) |

Date: August 6th, 2026 4:24 PM Author: Talented location jewess to be clear, I think there is some logic to OP. but it oddly focuses too much on CT, which already has a high cost of living. (https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5861573&forum_id=2#50049902) |
