Reply to Am I the only one here, or are Vermonts road markings disappear when the roads wet? by euro_trash_rescue

It’s bad. Approaching Hardwick from the west is one scary road on a dark, rainy night.

I wish they could install catseyes but the raised ones get torn up by plows and the recessed ones are time consuming and expensive to install plus they often lead to potholes.

Some reflective or glow-in-the-dark paint, motion-activated street lights… give us a chance out there. Something. Anything.

Reply to Balancing trespassers with being neighborly by c_l_who

I had a similar issue in a smaller scale. Live in a development. My neighbors' kids played in our yard. At first it was just occasionally crossing over, then full on playing in the yard. If they had just said "is that OK" I would have said yes, as they were being respectful. But they acted entitled. Soon enough they were leaving trash in our yard. So we got a fence.

Sorry if your dogs are roaming around killing other dogs they need to die. Not even hate towards the dogs but they are dangerous and need to be put down. That’s the logical side. On the emotional side my dog is very much my family and I wouldn’t have let that stand. The state/town can do what’s right or I will.

Because there's a concerted effort to abolish property ownership rights. There has been for a while. Look around, it happens all the time now. People rationalize being other's property, or why they are entitled to use an other's property "because it's here". Hell, just look at all the stories right here on Reddit about a neighbor jumping a fence, or cutting a lock to use someones pool because "it's not hurting anyone, bro".

Wow. Aweful at a time people are most vulnerable.

We should have appealed our town assessment. They raised the town value of our house $30,000 2 months after we bought it,, which was almost $40,000 more than we just paid for it. Then this past year it went up another $46,000 with the town assessment. We will come up with the difference but one day it will be just too much if it keeps up at this pace.

the fries at cornerstone were just okay. great fries at mulligans. I'd substitute to some other side at cornerstone. good bar, too. (lighting, staff, table/chair ratio, etc.)

the second best fish and chips in town is mulligan's. they're also pretty good - it's funny, because just the other day I was thinking how lucky I was to have 2 good fish-and-chips spots nearby.

Reply to comment by cpujockey in Vermont Gov. Scott considers banning TikTok on state cellphones by blutbad_buddy

I’ve asked employee to do this. I have also has them say no. Not much you can do. It is not really a key as a key is a physical device and I know exactly what it does, an authentication app comes with a TOS written by a lawyer in 3 point font that may or may not commit you to giving away your 7th child. Nobody knows because nobody has ever read one all the way through

Oh yes, my town assessment didn't budge.

That said, appraisal isn't allowed to change the total tax revenue of the town anyway. The only exception I've seen to that is places like Burlington where commercial properties dropped in value like a rock because no one wants to buy a hotel or restaurant during COVID. This forced them to use residential rates to make up the difference.
