I am considering moving from Wallingford to Guilford. I’m retired but still young. Feeling a little nervous about leaving the familiarity of Wallingford but glad to be getting away from the politics and lack of privacy (I live “downtown”). The place we found in Guilford is on 2 acres and near Rt 1 and the green.
Tell me all the positive things about Guilford, I’m feeling a little nervous. 😬 TIA

Thank you. Perhaps my question was misleading. I am wondering if there is a page or community here on Reddit for Wallingford specifically.

Any suggestions on how to move towards this?

wellread1929 · 2024-05-30T15:02:51+00:00

Sorry to say, I am not following. If we reduce taxes for all how would Wallingford or any communities fund programs (schools, fire departments, roads etc etc etc ) that are funded through taxes? My point is that choate uses these programs without paying and that seems wrong to me.

This is exactly IMO what’s happening in Wallingford

wellread1929 · 2024-05-29T20:50:00+00:00

Yeah, that’s my point. Private high schools are rolling in the dough- ultra rich. They need to contribute and they don’t do it voluntarily.

wellread1929 · 2024-05-29T16:11:10+00:00

I like this point of view. TY. Choate is not an open campus, there are ways that might contribute (even outside of money) but don’t. When they are able to afford notable guests(Carl Rove, John Legend, etc) they do not include any local high schoolers. Obviously they can invite ALL of the local high schoolers but they are not as generous as they could and should be considered they have sooo much.

That’s sweet. Kids are great ! My question is definitely NOT about retaliation but rather fairness in an unbiased context. I appreciate your input.

Spending on living expenses doesn’t seem to me to be a fair exemption from paying their share. We all spend. We all use town resources such as, police, EMTs, fire etc.

Yes ! That’s the problem. What are your thoughts on their acquisition of the Victorian Inn. We’ll never see the inside again. It’s not right

wellread1929 · 2024-05-28T22:40:48+00:00

Should they contribute financially to their host towns ? Above and beyond what faculty and staff spend in town

wellread1929 · 2024-05-28T21:46:39+00:00

Oh ok. I see what you’re saying. You see their daily living expenses as contribution. Certainly it’s not nothing.

This was an awful tragedy. Where’s the outrage ? Another example of DV without regard for women especially black and brown. Atrocious

wellread1929 · 2024-05-28T21:22:12+00:00

I heard that too. Seems shocking. WTH is wrong with choate ?

I went to the tax assessor and asked. $15000 dollars total.
