Why a garage door remote won't open so often in Danbury specifically

With 91.4% of Danbury's 795 housing units built as detached single-family homes and a median build year of 1972, original garage door hardware from that era is still plausible in a large share of homes, and remotes and receivers from that period fail more often than anything installed in the last decade.
Danbury's documented land subsidence, driven mostly by petroleum extraction, is a slow settling of the ground itself rather than a single storm event — over years that kind of gradual shift can work a garage door frame and its wiring connections loose enough to affect a receiver's signal, separate from anything wrong with the remote.
As of the 2020 census, Danbury's 649 housing units carried a 7.7% vacancy rate, meaning a meaningful share of garages sit unused for stretches at a time — remote batteries and receiver settings both degrade faster when a door goes weeks without being cycled.
