I didn't say there was no poverty at all, but Stamford is absolutely not one of the poorest towns in the US. I lived there for years so I know what I'm talking about, and your link hardly backs you up anyway.
There's no comparison with Bridgeport and and New Haven as that same site shows:

(3,160 posts)This is the city where Robert Rubin hatched CitiGroup by absorbing Travelers Insurance Company. This was the unholy merger of banking and insurance and it is what spawned the explosion of blended insurance and finance products, the birth of insurance derivatives. It is the suburban Wall Street. I'm surprised it didn't go 95% for Her.

Somebody had to win there!

(3,017 posts)That's the median, 50% above and 50% below. Average would be much higher. The median price probably buys you a tear down on a quarter acre lot.

(1,630 posts)That says it ALL, too. People, across all demographics, want Hillary.
