Cows know best that winter is a time to ruminate.

Homeless people move around. That’s why when we discuss the issue in places like California and Florida, we often recognize that those are national issues, not just local issues there. Folks from all over the country migrate to warmer places in the winter. They also migrate back. They would often prefer to find a way to live in communities they are familiar with, hence someone from the northeast doing anything they can to stay in the northeast and not have to travel south every winter.
Anyway, all of this to say that we need to somehow get over being locked down by invisible man made lines in the ground and just help people. The homeless issues is a national one.

One thing I wish they would take a true census on is how many homeless came into the state for the hotel rooms. I’m not saying this to minimize the problems, but it irks me that in two hotels I know of that are part of the state program for homeless are sheltering a decent amount out of state homeless people. Just sucks that in an overtaxed and relatively poor state we are spending our tax money on other states problems (when I say problems I’m not referring to the homeless people themselves, but the underlying conditions that got them to that point)

Can you imagine if outhouses were still a thing? I guess people would just use “chamber pots”?

I lived in employee dorms in my late teens through early twenties when I worked at seasonal resorts. Very fun for drunk kids. Hell for adults.

It’s crazy how xenophobic this sub can be. Vermont desperately needs people to move here and contribute to the economy.

I grew up in NEK but moved to Burlington a few tears ago. This comment is fricken awesome.
People in Minnesota are looking at Vermonters the same way we look at North Carolinians whenever there is a dusting of snow.

My sophomore year at the Academy we got the first snow day since 1986. Two buses had to go off the road for them to partially close for the day. Those in the dorms and within walking distance were still expected to be in chapel at 8am.

Too funny. In 4 years at the academy, we had literally zero snow days. All the other schools in town would close, but not us. F you headmaster Mayo!

Yep. The water pipe into a condo I lived in would freeze if we didn’t do this.

How about just fixing up (or tearing down and replacing) the houses that are falling into ruin? Might have to check if someone’s already living there though.
