Connecticut is the wealthiest per capita of the United States - and home to some truly charming ghettos. Connecticut's history began with the founding of Yale, which has poisoned the New Haven region ever since. Then nothing much happened until after World War II, when wealthy WASPs fled rapidly ethnifying New York City and Westchester for the state's pure, Yankee air and low taxes. This migration was so successful it was told in the endearing novel-cum-film, Revolutionary Road.
The state is easily accessible via Metro-North from Grand Central or 125th Street Stations, which runs as far as New Haven. Beyond is the scarred demilitarized zone between New York's sphere of influence and the benighted peoples who look toward Boston. Note: allegiance to New York does not dissuade the wealthy residents of such towns as Greenwich, Westport, or New Canaan from claiming to be from "New England".
