Many outsiders frown upon New Haven, but I absolutely love it here. There’s plenty to do and explore as far as nightlife and attractions go. Best pizza on earth by far, and an overall melting pot of all sorts of cultures from around the world. Might even be worth me relocating to. Plenty more than Yale, by which has an absolutely beautiful campus I highly recommend exploring. Yeah, there are some bad sections but it’s like any other city. Easy access to NYC via a commuter rail, and incredibly walkable which I really like. Regardless of where you are coming from, definitely give New Haven a go.
I grew up in an Itqlian neighborhood so there was good food & lots of churches. Now away drugs & alcohol really did take over a bit, I wish they would make fenytal testing strips available like they do Covid testing. The other day I had to Narcan someone in a pharmacy, at least the Narcan is free, but now there's newer stuff being added to it. We have great food, school, trama hospital but at what cost the shelters and mental health resources people need are not available. When I lived in Newhallville the cops didn't go down there on account of drug dealing that's what the camera's are for, they only show up if the shot spotter goes off & in a weird way that made me more comfortable, to not to have to see them all over all the time, almost like they weren't trying to (possibly at anytime), set up a predominantly African American neighborhood.
I have been living the city of New Haven my whole life. I have been schools all across New Haven; from private, magnet, charter, and public( for the last two years of high school).While living in this city I have taken every opportunity that they offered. I have apart of youth groups, pathfinders, HPREP ( Programs ran by Yale University), volunteering at Yale New Haven Health, and many more. Some deem New Haven has a "terrible" city but that is not the case. Yes, there are issues that need to fixed regarding safety but overall you can definitely raise a family, and have them succeed. As far as "Healthy Living" goes New Haven is great with that because we have farmers markets, vegan restaurants, and a lot of plant based places as well. Lastly, if you are looking for diverse community to be around then New Haven is the place to be.
