These kinds of assessments may have more meaning for me if I hadn’t moved here from Texas.

So others won't be deceived like I was. There's 2 sides to a pancake; evidently the truth offends certain people. I am not "shitting on Vermont". I am just sharing the experience I had attempting to live there.

Thanks!

Oh I know, people can beam me but I can’t do it back. America

I ran the covered bridge in 2012. It was beautiful! Too much downhill for these knees now, but it was gorgeous!

Okay, keep defending intolerance...

> Do you see more regulation of short-term as part of a solution?

Sure, but that's the most piddly compromise anyone should even think about accepting. That you're asking about "regulation" shows how near your horizon is; I suspect a small-L-liberal world is all you can conceive of. I want a country organized around ensuring regular people's needs first and foremost, instead of now, where the priority is maximum profits for a tiny group of oligarchs. I want vacation homes past the first, and non-owner-occupied AirBnbs expropriated by force - really make an example of people, put some fear into them. The recent bill to ban AirBnbs that weren't owner-occupied for 60-70% of the year was a tiny, hesitant step in the right direction, but even that got killed instantly. (Assuming there was ever any serious intent behind it; knowing the sponsor, Rep Kornheiser, I'm not so sure.)

> What other stories/reporting do you want represented in this episode?

Why are you asking me instead of whatever billionaire's "foundation" is funding public radio this week?

Try airbnb

> I do want our reporting to reflect the reality of what is actually happening in VT.

Then why do you do so many fluff pieces? Sometimes you have great stories, but a lot of time there is stuff like the other two options to vote on. The Netflix show Wednesday and out of state shelter? How is that what is happening in VT. I understand you can’t attract listeners with doom and gloom all the time but every once in a while the public desire to be placated with stories about bullshit should just be ignored and you should cover a real topic that impacts real people.

Be less of a hypocrite

I've stayed at The Shire Woodstock, wasn't anything earth-shattering but would stay there again and great location to walk around Woodstock.

It used to be an actual lift served hill for Norwich. So there are several routes down at varying pitches. Obviously they are super “natural” now and overgrown but you’re still on a mostly cleared, albeit narrow, slope. Can also duck into the woods if you know your way around.

OOPS! The Align Inn. Sorry bout that - it just changed names and I knew it was an A word - I just wrote the wrong word. Used to be the Quality Inn Quechee but it may be under new mgt or something now.

Whats the Skiing like on the way down?

Great spot with amazing skiing and some of the best mountain biking in Vermont.

Maybe it's just me, but the white river junction holiday Inn is surprisingly nice for a holiday inn.

That kitchen! Original cabinets, weird layouts, linoleum floor.

This whole place is a "handyman special".

That $2M is all "business losses" for taxation purposes

I enjoyed my stay at the Kedron Valley Inn a few years back

Nice try but my mother is into horses

So you made it about your mom instead, that's cute!

Yea comfy and quiet is a must!! I am a light sleeper !!😂😂

>I am running the half marathon so want comfy and quiet .

You can crash on my friend Jerry's couch!

I was originally going to make it your mothers name, but it was already taken to advertise her onlyfans.
