Strange way to tell us you want to suck off a tree, but hey - whatever taps your sap.

Everyone in this thread is in mass denial.

How about going outside instead of trying to disprove the statistics based on minute points?

Disengenous to say a vacancy in a house as a str room is the same as a vacancy in an apartment. The numbers need context.

Have you checked out hipcamp.com, kind of like an airbnb, but for rustic cabins and might be able to book for longer period of time. Worth a shot.

That must apply to the vacancies as well, so doubling is still accurate.

Until the opioid issue is solved this is only going to get worse

Keep in mind we have the second highest RATE of homeless per our population. In that regard we are worse overall than the STATE of Washington

No you can't. 2.5% represents all STR. All rooms, camps, seasonal rentals and everything else which is rented and not a hotel or B&B.

Only when you infer your own meaning to the statement. You don’t know my intent nor I yours

They are all in mass denial because nothing can go wrong. We have foliage and maple syrup.

So we could double that in one stroke. While building.

Say the dirty lib who called a person of color a piece of shit. That’s the typical response from the left, name calling.

There is an entire confederate gift shop at Gettysburg

As of 2021 (2022 not available) 2.5

I se second quarter 22 is available. 2.4

Never said that. Is it really that binary for you? Solutions need to be collaborative in Vermont's case. Neither the free market alone or the government alone can solve this puzzle.

>I never said I put my faith in the government

Then why do you want them to control everything?

I don't know the intricacies of VT vs Gainesville incomes etc but my point is I lived there and there's readily available multi unit housing for prices that residents can afford, and there's not a bunch of people desperately looking for housing they can barely afford

Make it easier and cheaper to build?

This is correct, at least in other states, idk about Vermont. 18% of California's homeless come from out of state.

…and in southern Vermont and Boston

virus doing what a virus does. If this was a dress rehearsal I don’t want to see the real deal. Let’s hope the H1N1 jumping to mammals doesn’t go full steam because collectively we have our heads up our asses.

Edit. H5N1. bird not swine

I don't think the HUD is deliberately setting out to deceive people. But if Vermont is rigorously counting every person in a shelter, hotel room, and encampment than it's data will be more accurate but appear worse then some one from, say Nebraska, idk, who sends one person out to an encampment and says,"well this seems like 200 people."

I'm just surprised bfa Fairfax didn't get a call especially with how we had two guys checking the school out yesterday

I never said I put my faith in the government. I just said don't trust the free market and the people/companies who dominate it. Especially not in this late stage of capitalism we are in. It is not an either/or situation.

I don't know enough about Gainesville to determine if you are actually making a point or not. Low cost of living and available housing could point to the area being undesirable as much as being better run. That's why I was asking about wages and cost of living. Detroit has a low cost of living and available housing too.

Nothing I said contradicts your point, with which I don’t disagree, but at the end of the day…Darwin was right.
