People in most of Connecticut and in that area of Putnam in general remind me of southern Californians. More of a "In the middle of Nowhere" type place even though it isn't exactly that.

They break the New Englander law of "We are assholes but we will help you" and follow the "We will be nice but leave you to your doom" type.

As someone from southern California who lived in this area of CT, I am not sure what you mean. SoCal is very diverse, mostly liberal, and I didn't realize how much the 'health conscious' stereotype of CA was true. Abysmal graduation rate, sub par schools, kids smoke, people are alarmingly disheveled. We lasted 3 years and moved to mass. People here are jerks, but are more educated, liberal, and open minded. That corner of CT also sucks for infrastructure -- limited shopping and entertainment options, we couldn't find a dentist taking new patients.
