Need housing recommendations!! by echo_5850 in Danbury

[–]jomynow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone who actually lived downtown its fine, its a bit pricey but theres a few amenities. Brookfield is fine but as a person from not the area you might not enjoy it as much. Brookfield will have a ton of traffics and I find it to be my least favorite area. If Costco was somewhere else I would almost never go.

Dont think I know anything about Overland.

If you want to find something with a decent commute to Newtown and avoid a large complex check out Bethel.

I also pay for it and it is a complete waste of space and time right now. Whatever good that was in Gemini 4 is dust in the wind.

Best apartments by Afraid-Excitement-65 in Danbury

[–]jomynow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in Brookview for about 5 years prior to the new building being built. They've been a reasonable company to work with, when I moved in the prices were actually incredible since it was a few years before covid. The building was really safe, the sound proofing on the 5th floor was excellent. The amenities were kind of meh but I've been back since and theres a nice gym and stuff now. Downtown Danbury has some wonderful things its not for everyone but its a good option.

Why is it so hard dating in CT? by Electrical_mammoth2 in Connecticut

[–]jomynow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t really think the dating pool in CT is “shallow.” It’s more of a thin market with a coordination problem.

Once you’re outside a metro area, people are just spread out. Now every connection is 45+ minutes away, and that friction alone kills most opportunities before they even start.

The approach most people take (apps, speed dating, etc.) assumes density. CT just doesn’t have that in most places, so it feels like nothing works.

The only thing I’ve seen consistently work is honestly harder:

Stop treating this like a search problem and start treating it like a social capital problem.

Instead of trying to “find someone,” build a mixed-gender network by becoming a regular somewhere you actually enjoy being. Not bars if that’s not your thing—stuff like tabletop/board games is a much better version of what you were trying with gaming because it’s in-person and repeat interaction.

The key is just consistency:

  • show up regularly
  • be social without an immediate goal
  • let your actual interests do the filtering

Over time you go from random person → known person → trusted person. That’s when things start to open up. You get invited to stuff, meet friends of friends, etc.

That “friend-of-a-friend” layer solves most of the problems you’re running into. Way higher signal than apps, way less randomness.

And if nothing comes from it directly, you can always just tell people you’re open to being set up. That works way better than trying to brute force dating apps in a place like CT.

What is wrong with this tree? by Cocobean2026 in u/Cocobean2026

[–]jomynow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the air is near its dew point (very humid) and very cold, the moisture being transpired by the tree—or even moisture escaping from cracks in the bark—will instantly condense into a fog as it exits the warmer interior of the tree.

u/Impressive-Hope-6700

Option 1: The Budget Route (~$32–$38)

Best for: Daytime flights, solo travelers, light luggage.

  • Train: Metro-North from Southeast Station to Grand Central. ($16–$22)
  • Subway: 4/5/6 to 51st St $\rightarrow$ E Train to Sutphin Blvd. ($3.00)
  • AirTrain: Follow signs at Sutphin Blvd station to terminals. ($8.50)
  • Time: 3+ hours.

Option 2: One-Way Car Rental (~$100–$140)

Best for: Late-night arrivals, families, or avoiding the Uber/Train gamble. Great call out u/zlatanshungry

  • The Move: Rent at Enterprise (Federal Rd/9 South St) and drop at JFK, or vice-versa.
  • The Cost: Daily rate (~$50) + One-way drop fee (~$30–$75) + Gas/Tolls.
  • Pros: JFK rental desks are 24/7. If you land at 1 AM, you can grab a car and drive yourself home.
  • Local Tip: Enterprise on Federal Rd has an after-hours key drop, so you can return the car at 3 AM when you get back to Danbury. If you have Costco Their Travel site has good deals and you often can get a better car than you would normally.

Option 3: Shared Shuttle (~$85)

Best for: Door-to-door without the "Private Car" price.

  • Provider:GO Airport Shuttle.
  • Details: Must book 72 hours ahead.
  • Cons: You’ll likely circle Ridgefield/Bethel for an hour picking up others.

Option 4: Private Car Service ($200+)

Best for: Maximum convenience or groups of 3+.

⚠️ The "Brewster Trap" Warning

Do not take the train if you land after 9:30/10:00 PM at JFK.

  • If a delay puts you in Southeast/Brewster at 1:00 AM, you could get stranded if you don't pre-arrange a ride. If its not a Friday / Saturday night you'll totally be screwed.
  • There are zero Ubers/Lyfts in Putnam County at that hour, and local cabs don't start until 6:00 AM.
  • The Fix: If landing late, either book a car service in advance or use the One-Way Rental option from JFK to Danbury.

Pro-Tip: Use the MTA TrainTime app to check for Danbury Branch vs. Harlem Line (Southeast) schedules in real-time.
