message: Overall this article seems to discuss the subject matter in an appropriate and correct manner. Everything seems to be true, but no sources are cited, which is why I posted the  template on the article. I have not added the OR template as such does not seem to be the case here.

message: The idea of a 'Gold Coast' is a real estate marketing tool at best. If we are going to base the area on 'The Stamford Market Labor Area" perhaps we should consider actual current commuting patterns: http://www.cerc.com/fairfield.html . I only say this because if we rely on government data we find that Connecticut is not even mentioned in reference to the New York Metro area, but that places in Pennsylvania are. I think this is a good example of how government definitions rarely fall in line with popular, or even common, knowledge (Your tax dollars at work). 
Just to reinforce what I am stating, take for example a simple search of the internet. Gold Coast Connecticut is more likely to show up in tourist publications, or the NY times real estate section, than in economic digests: http://www.bestofgoldcoastct.com/index2.html etc
Basically, we should be careful to rely completely on a black and white definition put forth by economists, when economics isn't a black and white science. 
Food for thought... and thanks for reading. EdC1 01:46, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This isn't entirely accurate, as there is more than one Census Bureau definition of the "New York Metro area." The Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) includes Pike County, PA, but no part of CT. The Combined Statistical Area includes the entire MSA and numerous other counties, three of which are in CT: Fairfield, Litchfield, and New Haven. The presence of a Metro North commuter rail line in southwestern CT further reinforces its status as part of the New York metro region. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.247.133.98 (talk) 00:52, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

message: The reason why I moved this page from Western Connecticut to Gold Coast (Connecticut) is because both areas are similar in scope and area. If someone wants to create a proper Western Connecticut including Litchfield County, I'm happy to help out. —JJBers 20:19, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I support this concept, and not just because I wasn't even aware of the Western Connecticut article. Markvs88 (talk) 01:34, 3 October 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: There is already an article for the Litchfield County Region (Northwest Hills (Connecticut)), and Western Connecticut is a region outlined by the CT Council of Governments (most of Litchfield County is not part of the Western CT region according to this council). Creating a second Western CT page would be redundant, since most of the Gold Coast is located in the Western CT Region.--AirportExpert (talk) 20:27, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
