Luckily I think we snuck in some really good stuff in the last legislative term right? Like, iirc by-right 4plex creation and 1/8 acre minimum lots if you're on town water and sewer? Or am I totally off base there?

Either way seeing our State work with the Congress for the New Urbanism was really encouraging. There's a way to keep an authentic Vermont that isn't unlivable and I think there's the will there if we just keep hope.

Well beans I think I was wrong here. Maybe this year!

It’s something I always brag about to friends from out of state. I always tell them that you can go to the coolest hiking trail or a really quaint park or an amazing waterfall and you’ll have the place to yourself. You might see a few other people but maybe see none. Everywhere I ever went in Colorado that was awesome was packed with people same for Massachusetts. Vermont there are just less of us

I moved here 2 years ago from Florida. I’ve always been into punk/hardcore/metal so I started seeking out shows/bands in the state and was absolutely delighted to find out that VT hardcore is commonly referred to as “Maple Violence” as a genre and I’ve never been more in love with a two word phrase.

I imagine they would leave anyhow unless they land remote jobs. Pennsylvania subsidized my education, but I'm never going back there. Better to have NY subsidize your kids' educations than VT

Reply to Campground Recommendations by slothlovesspunk

I think you would get more responses if you could narrow it down to your favorite things to do, where you’ve been in the past, a region of the state. Help us by narrowing it down somehow or are you just asking a thousand people to all name their favorite?

Reply to comment by 5teerPike in What do you think of Vermont population wise? Do you think it’s perfect the way it is? Too crowded? Not enough Cities? Open Discussion by Golfoneway95

some of my ideas:

no billboards

hundreds of miles of shoreline on the largest non-great lake in the continental united states. the other side of the lake is rural adirondack ny and the lake is notably clean and deep

one of the strongest agricultural reputations in the world. international beer and cheese awards frequently go to vermont artisans. as well as the dairy expertise, a lot of prime grade a farmland.

one of the most citizen-centric political systems in country
