Yeah. I'm abundantly aware of the housing crisis. I still want to make it work though. Giving it our best shot!

D+ for trolling effort.

It's more a housing issue. Towns are spread out and housing is minimal. Add the mediocre wages and high rent... And ...

Yeah, no matter the location those same people deserve a pit maneuver into an immovable object. Fuck them. Can't even observe common courtesy/obvious communal safety, eat airbag.

ah yes. They're "driving too close"

"but that's only one example!"

okay.

how about a third?

you can look this shit up, there's plenty of news reports of people having their windshields fully smashed in by this negligence. There's a reason some states require by law cleaning snow/ice off cars before driving

Also around the time the Northfield school district lost its state accreditation for the first time.

The duty to run away would fall on the home owner during a break-in.

Right, I’d make more in Chittenden county- there’s a whole host of reasons why I wouldn’t live there again- but this person would be starting at around what, 42-45 with a bachelors and 1-3 years of experience? The cheapest place I found in SB on a Craigslist search was 1100/mo with nothing included for a 350 square foot studio. So they’d be spending over 50% of their monthly income on a shoebox to live in. Not factoring in student debt, car payments- things many people have. It’s a shitty situation for young, single people to be in.

Yikes! What a dumpster fire! Glad you got out.

That's really messed up that they would do that

47 seven years! I hope they at least named the school after him! I hope he is enjoying his retirement!

I relocated to VT a number of years ago as a teacher. What I was told after I had gotten the job (and physically appeared) was schools have an issue with hiring out-of-state teachers, then said teachers ghost them in August. It's happened enough times with enough schools that most are hesitant to offer a contract unless you're already living up here.

Don’t forget Munich Haus in Chicopee, a little closer. Owned by the old head chef from The Student Prince. Both places are excellent - my wife prefers Munich Haus, I prefer The Student Prince.

Thats a good find, and pretty nearby-thanks! I tried to diy it, results not encouraging

Thanks, I’ll give those a look!

Thanks!

My point was that there are places in VT where teachers with "2 advanced degrees and 13 years teaching experience" get paid significantly more than what you're earning in Windsor County. The OP didn't note that they were looking at any specific part of the state. Unless your current position is Masters plus no additional credits, you'd probably be making around $18k more a year in Burlington, possibly (based on some teacher friends of mine) closer to $30k more in some districts in Chittenden County.

You are correct that COL is likely higher in Chittenden County. I'd say that's primarily housing, I don't think the cost of food, utilities, gas is that much higher in Chittenden County compared to Windsor County. Do you think rent is $18k/year higher? I've been out of the market too long to have a clue about the difference in rent Chittenden County vs Windsor County.

Been to the one in mass (Somerville) can confirm it is delicious, and true to real German food. Their spaetzle is fantastic

Farm fresh hats?! 🤣

Check out Northfield Police circa 1993...

I'm sure if a bunch of conservatives from MS moved in, suddenly "home grown" would matter more.

This is awesome. Thank you!

Especially if you've just come indoors.

No I understood maintaining benefits lmao I just didn’t understand what exactly counted and what the time period windows were
