Billy that comment is offensive and unwarranted. Please as a registered user 'play nice" and if you can't say something nice say nothing at all.

On a similar subject skate boarders are ruining the stone work around the fountain and the benches on the green. As they were doing around the Amistad statue in front of city hall, till the city installed anti skate boarding cleats. They need to install them around the fountain.

I've said this before and will continue saying it: New Haven is a free-for-all. Park where you please (lawns, sidewalks), drive as you wish (don't stop at NO turn on red), litter in Edgewood Park. The police care only about stopping gunfire in the drug-infested neighborhoods. The decline in the murder rate gets headlines. The condition of the Green, East Rock and Edgewood Park, and the other nuisances don't capture the headlines. But they do keep people from moving here, and until you begin to police the quality of life crimes (just as NYC does), New Haven will be considered a dump.

Let them live. All Your kids probably do the same

You are 100% correct. Even the downtown area, the face of the city is filthy with litter, garbage, and postings every where. Even business's from other towns stick their adds on everything in New Haven. Everything seems broken. Poor maintenance, poor lighting, poor policing. Enforcing the so called quality of life laws would go a long way. Given the way surrounding towns have developed over past 10 - 15 yrs. there's no reason to come to New Haven. They all have good restaurants and shopping, in a cleaner and safer environment.

We are trying to delineate issues that are current and need the city's attention to resolve. Any issues prior to 2013 are being closed. If your issue remains and needs to be addressed by the city, please either re-open or open as a new See Click Fix issue. Thanks.
