Of course they're right. It's easy to predict something that has been happening for 40 years... or maybe more? I just know every wood-booger in the state has been complaining very loudly of this for my entire life.
The real change here is that people are/will be coming from farther away, not just our neighbors. Climate migration is already happening and VT is forecast to be one of the safest areas as we further destroy the rest of our planet. Buckle up folks, we have a lot of new neighbors on their way in the next decade. Let's welcome them.

It's absolutely hilarious that a bunch of very fragile people downvoted this very fair question.

I remember trump having a lot more to do with that than the average republican would care to acknowledge. And I never ran out of any of those things in Vermont. Which, let's face it, only did so well because of the low population density, and that we actually made people wear masks at all. Drop the masking and what? We're shocked it's back and causing problems? Sure. Ok /s.
Also, does this mean you voted for Bush?

You are missing the point regarding the now deleted posters stance on “why should I leave I was here first” in reference to the same deleted poster telling OP to leave VT if they don’t like car inspections.

Being a short term rental landlord should be allowed only for residents of Vermont. You then keep Vermonters who rent out their little cabin or in law suite intact while stopping the gobbling up of home by out of state investors.

Rino. Former 2000's democrat.
You really paid no attention to the fact that we had supply shortages on things like masks, toilet paper and other products during the beginning of the pandemic.

Oh I read that you're a republican too, don't worry. 🚩.

If you're against paid administrative leave in this circumstance, then you are either
A) Against it in all circumstances, including those where it is obvious no wrongdoing occurred and the subject will be exonerated, or
B) Automatically assuming he's guilty, will be fired, and could have been fired immediately if it weren't for those pesky rules saying we need to prove he did it.
Given you're apparently unaware this process is the standard for any unionized workplace, it seems likely that you just have some ideological beef with the police, and see police unions as an extension of the police rather than a union protecting its workers. If you're against collective bargaining, you're against job protections such as requiring investigation and cause for dismissal.

Unfortunately, the cost of not doing it is so high now with inspection failures. rust repair is never cheap and most of the time you only want to buy another year or 2 on the vehicle, not restore it so it lasts 15 more years

I lived at finny for about 5 years. Theyre nice apartments in a nice neighborhood. In guesing you probably havnt walked around there because all of the 5 or so developments there have a unique look and feel.
The bigger problem with them is affordability. For the space they are very expensive

How about an IT director who refused to implement new security measures so hackers got the personal info of thousands of people?
Or a utility clerk who is accused of stealing $150,000 from a city?
Or a city manager accused of stealing from a local business?
Idk why people act like paid leave is some benefit or luxury only certain people get when it's standard HR procedure these days. You put the person on leave so they can't potentially keep doing what they are accused of, but they still get paid in case the allegations are proven false so they can't sue you later.

It was a tight vote. It almost wasnt approved.
Sprawl sucks but houses are needed. Its at a farm field already abutting development and about a mile from wcs/old williston. I dont if you took a look at the annex and seen finny. They are fairly progressive (and contriversial too). That town planner matt is reasonably forward minded.

Beat it. I lived there for years idiot. Plenty of snow and ice also needed chains quite a few times. They use chloride pre treat just like here as well.

You sound like you have never been there, I have, and I asked friends parents there and such as I considered the move there 20 years ago. They literally said 3-5 " of snow total per year, none of the ice of the north east. Explain how they have salt use and cars from the 40's just sitting in people's lawns.

Williston is going for the Soviet era building method of just having a single architect design an apartment complex they build 200 times and an office building they build 200 times.
It looks like a newer version of THIS

No snow in the valleys, no ice in your daily commute, no road salt. When you can still buy a Toyota from 1971 there, there is nothing trying to actively eat your car into nothing. It's almost like the high desert.

So you are agreeing with my first statement and retract your statement, “ya cause those (rusty manifolds) would cause an accident. (Annoyingly sarcastic) for fucks sake. Because you realized you were wrong? Thanks guy!
