I deem being a racist a bad practice. You should consider stopping.

Also, I’m not particularly interested in your bullshit mental gymnastics you scumbags use to make it easier to sleep at night. If your spending this amount of time and energy reacting to this article in this way, you are truly a vile scumbag racist POS. I’m sorry if that reality hurts your fee fees, but maybe reflect on it a bit.

Vermont is imploding into chaos.

grown man calls children weak because they don’t want to be racially abused at school

Get a fucking grip on yourself

What exactly is the definition of ‘affordable housing’ in Vermont? 200k? 300k?

Real estate agents can also be a stop gap here, ensuring homes went to VT residents - but that’s unlikely,

Chances are there wont be any snow on the roads. It gets plowed off quickly.

So you deem hypocrisy a good practice?

What slur was it

People need to get over themselves. When I grew up in VT, we were responsible for our own feelings, not everyone else. Meritocracy ruled, not everyone gets a ribbon.

Only the strong survive; it’s an absolute truth in all of nature…the eternal truth, we’re always at war fighting battles among our fellow humans trying to survive and be happy. Doesn’t always have to be kinetic to be war.

That is a delusional outlook. Regulations/government are not the only cause of the housing situation. Big developers will just keep building McMansions that will get bought by investors to become high prices rentals. When was the last time you saw a development of affordable single family homes anywhere in the USA? The free market has not made affordable housing for decades.

meanwhile you’re so weak you can’t even type a swear word.

If you have all wheel drive you still cannot stop haha

Nationally it’s not lack of development, it’s the rental management companies algorithmically pricing rents with no regards for anything but profit.

This is not accurate. The rental management market has been massively consolidated over the last 10-20 years. Statistically we don’t need that much more housing. But we do need prices to reflect costs, not be a conduit for maximum profit.

Assholes? Did I get it right, Boomer?

Weird how?

HOAs are good for multi-family housing like condos. Pretty lame for single family homes

Nope, let them build those until it's no longer profitable (wouldn't be long in VT) then they'll move on to other housing types. The solution to a problem caused by government regulations is not more/different government regulations

I think people completely misunderstand the idea of what "affordable housing" is. Either you have houses that are bought and sold at the market rate or you have subsidized housing. When the market is such that even the most inexpensive housing options are still expensive then there is no affordable housing.

Spot on.

Slow development is partly to blame. Air bnb is partly to blame.

But the huge surge is rental prices is directly attributable to a surge and consolidation in software based rental pricing industry. Basically they’ve realized it’s more profitable to continually raise rents and have large turnover and higher vacancy. These companies (mostly one) manage enough properties that they’ve dragged all prices up.

We’re not actually short on housing nationally by most metrics. Housing construction isn’t lagging by most metrics. Enough cards are held by theses companies that they can manipulate the market. Adding more housing that are managed this way won’t lower rents.

Edit: I know I give you crap on many of your posts, but I fully agree with many of your takes. It’ll take national legislation to sort out the root causes of this issue.

As the ignorant racist scum in the comments are showing, the issue is not just in high school sports. Vermont has a major issue with racism and always has. We just have gotten by without it being so obvious simply because there is a serious lack of diversity here. Not a lot of targets for these scumbags.

There’s a great PBS doc I recommend called I Am From Here everyone should watch:

They'll build what the market demands. Maybe the market also needs more high end homes and those make the most so they'd be built first, however there's only so many people who can pay for those so that market would become saturated. You can make money building more affordable housing too so they'd do that also

I responded to the other guy who asked the same question. See that response rather than me retyping it .

Oh look. Another racist.
