I have heard that some parts of CT are insanely ghetto and dangerous.
I heard that too but I unno if it's true.

I just saw this but I remember watching an episode of gangland or something like that with CT in it, pretty nuts.
Since you all seem interested in CT....
I live in NJ and have been to CT many times. Was just in Mystic CT 2 weekends ago, have done wine tastings at many of the vineyards and have partied up at UCONN many times back in the day. As far as the entire state is concerned, it is a very rich and uppity state. Not sure you can find a more snobby state in the US. There are nowhere near the amount of sh!tholes like in my 'Garden State'. Go to Trenton NJ, it makes Fallujah look like Palm Springs. With that said, when you go up 95 ( for you West Siders - 95 runs Boston to Miami ) from NYC to Boston, you pass through the entire state of CT along the coast. One of the first places you'll pass is Greenwich, CT, / Fairfield County, one of the richest cities/counties in America. As you continue on the road you see many small cities with old broken down factories. I guess they were once booming cities, but when the factories shut down, the cities went to hell. They are too far from NYC to commute and no new companies went in to fill the void. Bridgeport is one of those cities along 95 and has one of the worst homicide rates in America. Other than those places and Hartford, the state is gorgeous and very well off.
See, you learn something everyday
