Lol you just described zoning my guy

...I suddenly feel bad for their sports teams.

The same way one would be cautious on any ice- only in this case, keep in mind that if you crash through, you're not getting back out (easily).

The new Siennas are terrific.

It's wild that as stringent as zoning in towns are for building new apartments and or hotels are that they seem to have no rules on a house being used as a hotel room.

We should more strictly regulate short term rentals, but not to forward any NIMBY agenda... but instead to open them up for long term rental.

These gender reveal parties are getting out hand

why are you bouncing around to subreddits around the country shilling for AirBnB and Blackrock? Touch some fucking grass

Sounds like they are doing what they want with their property. Vermont’s not its own country. The real STR issue is with investors/corps buying up 20 homes or whatever just to pad their accounts.

They are having their friends come up and camp? What happened to live and let live? And ffs they got a wastewater permit the right way and probably paid 40k for a mound so their little tiny house and family camp outs won’t pollute your neighborhood’s wells.

Way more “natives” than you would ever like to admit have an ADU that they air bnb, that they could rent to a local long term if they wanted to...

Hate the big greedy corporation. But lay off the guy who has his friends and co workers up for camp outs. That’s just whining.

Where do you live? You post in so many local subreddits it's hard to tell

We go through about 700 gallons in a year for 2100 sq ft house. Includes 2 in one boiler, gas stove, and heats a 2 car detached garage at 50f.

COME ON, VAIL!

Seems like he’s mid stride

Sounds like they are impacting the use of OP's FULLY OCCUPIED residential property.

People visiting a few times a year do not make a town, the locals do. If it were not for the locals, there would be no town, no amenities, no reason or way for people to own vacation homes.

Locals make an area the way it is. Wealthy folks from outside want to buy a piece of it. They tend to bring the shitty culture they were trying to get away from. If they buy too much, they displace the locals, changing the area and disintegrating what made it charming in the first place.

I'm sorry but I do not see 2nd home owners as having equal rights to people to live in an area full time.

edit: I had more to say...

is engine swapping to an F-35 engine out of the question at this point? what if he needs to shoot down Chinese spy balloons?

My Civic handled 7 miles each way on aptly-named "Swamp Rd" in Newbury for years, til I got a Prius C (the tiny Prius). Light cars are great in mud season.

Always the hay trucks, never the weed trucks.

Do something about people's private property? No thanks. It's their property they don't need someone else telling them what they can do with it.

Yep. Our 2 soccer-playing kids grew up being driven around in a Honda Civic. Our hill is notorious for mud and ice & we used to entertain ourselves laughing at the 4WDs getting stuck, or sliding backwards down the hill. Lightweight cars are your friend in mud season and GOOD snows are your friend in winter. That's all you need.

All the soccer stuff fit fine in the trunk, the kids fit fine in the back seat, the car sailed through mud and was rock solid in snow. There's a lot of mythology around what you need for driving in VT. A whole lot of people waste a lot of money on big vehicles (and fuel for them) that they simply don't need.

Apres ski?

They’re fine. Just have good tires and be cautious of ground clearance.

Devil's lettuce fiends are out of control!!
