Connecticut and Massachusetts Compared

I'm... pretty tired. I think I'll go home now.

Yay my home state of Massachusetts is in a video!!! I love my state as it is is absolutely historically rich and it's education is so great, which is something I am so happy about due to me wanting to become a history educator. Thanks for the amazing video as always Mr. Beat!!

One of the coolest parts about living in these states are the stone walls everywhere. No matter where you are there are old stone walls scattered about. It’s really interesting to look around and see where old farms use to be.

Born in CT, currently living in MA, the thesis here is pretty accurate. CT is mostly just a less populated MA, with a tinge more NYC influence.

You'd be surprised how many people forget my home state; Connecticut exists

I've always liked living in Connecticut not for what's in the state, but for its proximity to other things. We're 90ish minutes from Boston, 2 hours from New York, 5 hours from DC, between 1-3 hours for great skiing, and no more than 30 minutes to beaches. We also have great hiking, especially in autumn with the foliage.

Native nutmegger here. Massachusetts has better beaches (i.e. "the real ocean" vs LI Sound). Both have aggressive drivers; Massachusetts drivers are known as Massholes. :D

As a Connecticut resident, I really felt the “Massachusetts without Boston”. It’s pretty accurate, but pretty quiet. Great video, oh yeah also the WWE is down here in Stamford.

Born, raised, and currently living in Connecticut. This was extremely accurate! The biggest complaints people have about CT are taxes/cost of living, and our cities have high crime. But Connecticut is a beautiful state and I love living here. For sports, from what I’ve seen, we’re split down the middle. I see support from both Boston and New York teams. New Haven also has the best pizza ever, that’s just fact 😂

I live in Connecticut so I'm happy to see a video by Mr. Beat talking about my homestate

So glad to see my home state of Massachusetts in a video finally!

As someone born in Massachusetts, this is a cool video. There's things not to like about it but it's still my home state. Also as someone from western Mass it's nice to have someone talk about different parts of the state other than Boston and Cape Cod, and point out we don't have the Boston accent out here. One thing to add to the Presidents list, Calvin Coolidge even though he was born in Vermont lived much of his life in Northampton MA and was even the Governor of MA in the early 1920's.

My wife and I grew up in CT. I LOVE this state, education, salaries, democracy, closeness to NY and MA is great. We can do a day trip in CT through the state and MA and find something wonderful and new every single time we venture out. We have vacationed in RI and love it. Most of our family stems from NY and I was born in NYC, my wife's family NYC. A high majority of CT residents stem from NY families and lived there as well at some point in their lives. CT is a bit calmer then MA, and MA has very nice vacation areas like Marthas Vineyard but don't plan on living there if you can't spend more then 2 million on a house. Healthcare is great in CT. The town we now live in is great, as was the previous town. West Hartford and Farmington. People here overall are smart, polished, and the seasons here are great. Taxes are high but salaries are also among the highest in the country. A School counselor in Florida makes less then half of the their salary in CT. The offset of cost of living although lower in Florida is not nearly low enough to justify living there. Education there sucks, heat sucks, I mention FL. because a lot of CT people have second homes in Florida. LOVE Connecticut.

i live in connecticut, we are overshdowed by other states so i am glad that you talked about our state

Hey! Can you possibly make Malaysia and Indonesia compared and Zambia and Zimbabwe compared in the future? It would be nice.

A lot of news anchors come to CT to learn the accent because its considered pretty neutral.

I'm from Mass and went to school in Ct.and travelled quite a bit abroad and in the U.S. For me , there's no other place to live IN THE WORLD than Massachusetts. !! It's the SPECTACULAR nature ! Currently we're stuck in Fl. and deeply miss the forests, meadows, seasons, colonial houses , great education and state health! Thanks for the video.🌲

Tufts university grad here- thanks for the shout out as evidently the 4th most important Massachusetts college haha. Both are great states with a lot of history, but I think once CT legalizes marijuana it will definitively be better. I’ve only driven through but the interstate is immaculate, and I loved not paying tolls!

Massachusetts may have too high taxes but damn, I really love this state. Their education system is superb.

Whenever I meet people from out of CT, they’re really intrigued about my life in a mansion, golfing, sailing, wearing vineyard vines, etc. I don’t have/do any of those things, people who do that are concentrated down by New York, and are really in the minority but people who see CT in the movies think that’s what the whole state is like.
