It's both. And the nimbyism isn't always "locals".

Whoops, my bad. That is a big difference.
Edit, we totally agree, I read your post wrong.

Rutland is having an outbreak at the middle school 40 students and teachers have it. My sister has it now she was throwing up with a fever for two days and tested negative then on the the third day after the fever broke she tested positive.

What's happening here is gentrification just like in a big city. Locals out, New Jersey money in. Sorry we're sick of it.

They are, actually. We're filling up with people from NJ and MA who aren't coming here to work, they're coming here to work remotely or spend their parents money or both. Their answer to our 0.00000001% vacancy rate is build, build, build.

That first paragraph is the story of VT. Chittenden County is already NJ North, only a matter of time before the rest of the state is too.
I disagree on one point. We need to build workforce housing. We don't need to build remote worker housing, but we need young people working here if the state has any hope of being livable, which it probably doesn't.

It's total horseshit. We would have tourism without second homes. Maybe we'd lose some tourism but we'd be better off because we'd maybe gain workforce housing. Way back when I worked in a tourist industry in Burlington. 20 years ago. SO MANY QUEBECOIS. They're going to keep coming no matter what.

I wonder if it’s a right wing diversion tactic so they can go after power grids or put things in place

Surely wherever this phrase originated wasn't very important /s
I'm sure the party that actively hates poor people and social programs would never back such a work of literature that would contain such a phrase

My whole family had it for the first time last month. I don’t know anyone else who had it at the same time though or where we got it from.

I mean, yeah actually I do think that people who buy homes where they’re born deserve homes in that state at an incentivized rate, or be given first refusal on property. If it’s cheaper to go to college in-state, why shouldn’t it be cheaper to buy a home in-state? It’s really incredibly sad to me that so many of us are priced out of the counties we grew up in.
Vermont has the 2nd highest homeless population per capita after California, where they’ve declared it a state of emergency. Something’s gotta give. Homes gotta get built!

Nope, totally didn’t delete it. Prob banned. You’re missing my whole point. It’s a word. Why is ok for some to use and not others? I never said it was ok to use, just trying to figure out the hypocrisy. They want to punish some kid for using the same word that the so called victim (I’m sure) uses too. In fact I’m context, if the perpetrator skin was black, no one would have batted an eye. The kid wasn’t racist, he was using the same ghetto talk they all do. You really think his intent was racism?
And I’m not political, but let’s call it like it is. I would bet my life everyone on this thread identifies as dem or liberal. With no ideas on what those actually mean. You seem too but most others, no.

They literally said the opposite in the comment. Literally.
>Regardless of where Vermont stands relative to other states, it's clear to me that something should be done to help people without permanent housing.
Are you just wanting to be upset at someone pointing out that there is a flaw in the data? It is ok to hold both the idea that Vermont needs to correct the issue, and that the data being used could be misrepresenting the actual numbers.
Data integrity matters, it dictates where funds are directed.
