Exactly. Not an area I know well at all but my understanding is that evictions can often take months (landlord friend went 9 months with a tenant not paying rent before the tenants could be pried out by the sheriff). For a small time landlord this can be a back breaker (1-2K/month less income) and for some just not worth the risk when you can charge a higher rate with less risk in the STR market.

Surely there are many examples, counter examples, and horror stories to this issue, but for the system to work, evicting a tenant who is not paying rent ought to be fairly seamless.

And again, I am suggesting just to incentivize long term over short term. I’m not exactly a pro landlord kind of guy by nature.

Why not just lead with that? Why put it at the end of the comment like it’s an afterthought?

Example: vermont has a homeless problem, we should deal with it. Also, this data may not be accurate, but still VT has a homeless problem.

They did not literally say the opposite, you dunce. Still, you’re slightly better than the other commentor who thinks forced labor camps are a solution to homelessness.

Vermont State Colleges are trying to create a stranglehold on the knowledge of society?

Or they are failing and this is a lb attempt to save money at failing schools?

Which is more likely?

Mostly cannabis. At least it helps forget about it for a few, anyway.

Huh, that's really odd. The media doesn't usually miss a chance to present a story with an obvious red team/blue team angle, and this is teed right up for them. Anything but healthcare, I guess.

True.

The murder per capita >2x national average is the really the selling point for me with Burlington!

Make an offer! Make a really good offer and they're probably sell it.

Huh, TIL. This whole thing feels like it glows, but time will tell.

"The problem I have with this is that these people contribute absolutely nothing to the community"

They pay taxes and consume very few resources. Their property taxes help fund all the municipal services while not using the schools, placing little wear on the roads, and most likely not being a social burden requiring EMS and law enforcement involvement.

"and do not even communicate with the people who actually live here."

Why do they need to communicate with you? Given your attitude towards them, perhaps they communicate with others...

The horror, someone who owns 10 acres wants to put up a tiny house and rent it out to people who will come to the community and spend money locally, the nerve people have hoping to use things they own to better themselves!

Humph, I'd move to Canada!

Valid points, though I will also say outsiders use the roads the least, do not send their children to community schools, or take advantage of other town things so they get much less benefit for the tax they do pay. We can agree to disagree but some towns are just going to be that way. How would you change ski towns?

He looks like a turtle in a sheriffs hat

"No charges were filed*

And people still ask why I assume that the cops have criminal intent.

Lol, it's a reddit fight. I don't care. I could have been more clear, sure. My apologies. It does sound arrogant to say I know more but in this case I do. There's some nonsense in the original post about an emergency housing board. That doesn't exist. Lots of sort of correct info in this thread. It's funny.

The self righteousness is a little much.

What are you talking about? Some Vermont towns even tax second homes at a lower rate than primary homes. Even those that do, it’s not punitively higher as you suggest. I know the rate in Manchester is only like 5% higher for second homeowners. I truly believe that that town is an example of where this is all leading and it’s not good. Second homeowners do not participate in the community and when there are too many vacant homes it becomes unsustainable. You can’t have a town that no one actually lives in no matter how much they pay in property tax.

Elsewhere someone was asking, "What happened to the big wave of Covid that was supposed to hit this winter?" I think the problem is that we've quit paying attention.

There are two aspects to this - antibodies and white blood cells - T-cells and B-cells. Yes, the antibodies fade in a few months. The T and B cells don't. That's why they say that you still get protection from more severe disease.

We have a "perfect is the enemy of good" here. No, the vaccines aren't perfect. But they are pretty good, they do help, particularly so it's not so bad if you do get it. The find point is that just because they're not perfect doesn't mean they're completely useless, because they're not.

I'm over 65, I've gotten all of my shots on-schedule, and I still mask when going indoors into "public air" like supermarkets, and such.

Done. Fahrenheit 451°. Nothing more needs to be said.

What you said, and everyone downvoted, was that you can "walk into the state and get housed that day." You're "imagining" what the circumstances are, not "knowing" what the circumstances are.

And for what it's worth, you might know more about this program than me, if you mean the technical rules or how it was put together. But if you think you're on the ground finding housing for more people than me on a daily basis, knowing how the program *actually* works and how people *actually* get a warm bed at nightI'm gonna call bullshit because I'd fucking know you if you were.

Ha! Likewise bro. You're making shit up. If you're an advocate you're doing more harm than good. When people who know this stuff hear you talking about people dying in the elements, they know you're full of shit. That hasn't happened in a decade or more. Another clueless person on a self righteous rant. When did you get here from jersey?

Yeah. Capitalism is great, but it often requires guardrails. We’ve built a lot of new roads in the last few decades. Time to add some guardrails.

Maybe they should do one last job teaching you to read for comprehension
