Hiding in the bathroom . Help . <| sep |> Just stopped by to put in my opinion . When i moved to connecticut i was also had alot of the same questions . Like many others here have said if you want to have longer communtes move to a city , if you dont check around the danbury area . I also need to defend bridgeport . I ' ve lived here for about 9 years and i can honestly say its not as bad as people make it out to be . Yes it does have a higher crime rate than i would like but its honestly not a living hell hole as someone stated above . Like many cities it has its nice areas and bad areas . If you are considering bridgeport you can pm me and i can help you choose the better areas in the city . Good luck finding a place to stay .
