New Haven Named Top Tech Start-Up Region

From its thriving downtown to its idyllic coastline, New Haven has a lot to offer. With Yale University just minutes from center city, New Haven is ripe with the next generation of problem solvers and creative thinkers.

Again Snake-Oil and Three card Monte being sold.Tech Start-Up Regions and Gentrification go Hand and Hand?.Like I said New haven is in the second stage gentrification..A lot of you will be gone soon.

The dark side of Startup City.

I'm not trying to be a killjoy here, but who runs this website? This is all you get;

<blockquote>Technology news blog bringing you the most recent updates from around the tech community. We also publish how-to guides, tech FAQs, and more.</blockquote>

They don't give any information about who wrote this "blog". There's no names associated with it, and Vweb seems to be a portal for Verizon to sell customers their FIOS service. Anybody who runs this type of site, usually has their name on it, with a brief bio of what they've done in the industry. And when you click their How To section, it brings you to a loading screen that doesn't seem have anything other than tips on how to "clean your tech" that were lifted from Lifehacker.com, and descriptions of the different types of internet.

Three fifths: gentrification is not all that bad, try thinking outside the box sometimes.

RobotShlomo: agreed that site is suspect.

What are the odds on the DISTRICT project actually happening? Ditto LiveWorkLearnPlay.

Who named the city to this spot??
Tech start up, this would be the last spot I would pick.
But who am I.
Just a tax payer of high taxes.
I run the "Free Range Squirrel Farm in Wooster Sq.

We were feeding grad teachers till the signed the contract.
Each squirrel dressed out to fry $10.00

We now feed the homeless, who the city won't help.

New price FREE.

Ask the people who are living in the bottom ten per cent if it is not all that bad.

EarlyBird, construction at The District has been going on for months. LifeWorkPlay is a whole 'nother story.

THREE: How do you create more taxable income in New Haven without allowing development to take place?

My point is that you consistently giving too much credit to gentrification, the real problem is income inequality and lack of allocation of funds to underserved communities.

Gentrification is a symptom but not the disease.

Tax Yale.

The problem is all three gentrification income inequality and lack of allocation of funds to underserved communities.

Buy a symptom can turn into a disease.

The Other Side of Gentrification: Health Effects of Displacement.

@earlybird The odds of District? Take a ride by and you can see all types of work happening on a daily basis. All the demo work is done. We're installing the new utilities. Comcast is installing fiber. We should begin the roof work soon now that the weather is breaking. We've moved tons of soils already to make the environment a better place for the community. Things are moving along. District will open. Thanks for the good vibes!

hahah @@3/5th!!!

Objectively there is no lack of an allocation of funds for under served communities in NH. The pie is only so big, you want to increase the pie, increase the tax base. You want to tax Yale? Tax every church too.

Start up = opportunity. More jobs should give people the ability to help themselves. The city budget can only do so much.

My offer for a beer is still on the table.

@DSalinas - Thank you for the update on DISTRICT (and for betting big on New Haven). Can't wait to see the end result!
