Reply to In this scenario, what would “Vermont Style” pizza be? by Unique-Public-8594

Vermont-style pizza isn't a thing, because the steakhouse down the street and the fine dining restaurant around the corner have taken you to court to prevent you from building your pizza using the ingredients you have already bought, in the kitchen that you already own because they claim that your pizza will alter the character of the area.

I hope they are paying him a lot because the cost of living here is rather high and often times people who move for work get caught off guard. Also your biggest struggle may be actually finding somewhere acceptable to live. I've seen many people accept job offers only to search for housing for months only to have to sacrifice the offer and not move. Also the Rutland area is going to be way not as fun to live in compared to the Chittenden area so there's that too

You can build it. But you need to build a duplicate failover in case the first one sucks. Additionally the ingredients are required to meet some standards but the certification for meeting those standards is a for. Where you just check “yes I meet those standards”.

Also, you find after all that it is a little worse than the other guys who said the state can fuck off and built the pizza he wanted without all the bullshit and you realize the state will never come after him.

This. ⬆️ Seems to be worse for Black women. I’m white and grew up here. Never thought there was much racism until I lived in the Southeast (FL, GA, AL). The good news is that there are definitely more POC living here than there were when I left. Somebody advised that you avoid the NEK and I agree; it’s pretty much Maga land.

As far as schools go, get involved. Like others have pointed out, it’s mostly microaggressive, ignorant BS. But overt racism exists. And like everywhere else in the US, cops stop way more POC than they should. But they don’t kill them.

Vermont school sports is notorious for bringing out the worst racism in people (see any of the many incidents this year, in recent years).

I’ve heard that Woodstock is a decent, accepting place, but can’t speak to it myself.

Pizza that has a strict set of rules that actively work to prohibit you from building it in the first place, despite you owning the ingredients you want to use and the kitchen that you want to build the pizza in. And even when you address the rules for building, some nearby NIMBY, and a bunch of people they recruited, will file a claim saying they are allergic to pizza and you shouldn't be allowed to build any pizzas, even though you jumped through all the pizza-making hoops.

My husband and I are an inter-racial couple. I am Asian. We are in southern Vermont. We’ve been here a little over a year and moved from the South. I feel that racism is more in your face in the South where here you have to peel away layers before you see it. I agree with all of those about micro aggressions. My daughter looks more like me and has experienced a few things in school but nothing violent. I am experiencing more ignorance and micro aggression in the parent community of the school. I still don’t regret moving. Plenty of people who aren’t like what I mentioned. I wish you all the best!
