The Pros and Cons of Moving to Danbury from People Who’ve Lived Here
I feel like twice a week I'm writing about what it's like to live in Danbury.

However, I am one person with one perspective, I know my routine, my kid's school and what is important to me. So, whenever other Danbury residents are sharing their opinion about the Hat City, I try and pay close attention to see how they view it versus how I do.
The Pros and Cons of Moving to Danbury from People Who've Lived Here
Other than calling all the downtown areas "s---hole", and shouting ratings of "5" out for the schools, I'd say all the critiques are fair. Traffic is absurd, gang activity is not overwhelming but is on the rise and it's cold. The "pros" they laid out are also on point, Candlewood Lake, Mina's Carne, great shopping and tons of diversity.
What I love best about Danbury is that you can choose to live the city life or the country life in the same place. No, it's not a major metro-area, but the Downtown area will be comfortable for people who are familiar with city living and away from the Downtown area, there are some nice sleepy neighborhoods.
