Like they should have to be owner managed? No property managers or that kind of thing?

I’m saying all landlords should be personally tied to and liable for their properties.

Maybe the VTGOP would do this…if they had any seats in the General Assembly lol. C’mon, basic math should’ve informed you that this can’t happen in VT due to our legislatures make up.
Sucks that this is happening elsewhere, but no need to be an alarmist here.

Exactly. Teds is where the Catholics eat, ramuntos is for the Christian’s and the mystics eat at cara mias cause they know the way

I don’t read or pay BFP. I used to, back in the day. I do get their daily email (along with seven days, VTDigger and VPR); I track them all for work.
I used to follow all of the local tv news channels on Twitter for work. I had to shut that shit down a while back as they all started tweeting out nonstop crap that, more often than not, is not local. Usually with nice short clickbait titles.
I still follow local reporters, which can also be annoying because since they are real people often involves their pets, kids, vaccinations etc.

This is just Gannett homogenizing local news. It’s small town story, it doesn’t matter to them which town it’s from because they only had to pay one reporter. Evening newscasts have done this for decades. I wouldn’t line a birdcage with BFP. Check out VT Digger. Seven Days. FPF. Hell, even this sub.

Nope. I don’t agree with you at all.
Good sidestep though.
I support transgender youth participating in school sports. Trans girls are girls and trans boys are boys.
Fuck off bigot.

Of course it doesn't absolve him.
But the point is... if you get rid of the chief...
Does it change the community that hired, defends and supports him?
Yes or no?
Your friends, family, neighbors - people in your community are the problem. The chief is a big, enflamed, pus-filled pimple. But he's still just a symptom.
​
Downvote me all you want. Until you stand against your right-wing voting friends and family... this is your reality. Won't go away because you wish it was different.

Here in VA they don't treat unless politicians get stuck on the highway from two inches of snow.

Not to mention, if this was a black cop speaking out to support BLM for instance, this wouldn't have even hit the media.

My comment stands on it's own, and your reply really has nothing to do with what I said.
Down votes on my comment prove my point.

There’s literally a 12 foot wall of snow (that won’t melt) in front the path to my tank from the plow guy so I haven’t figured out what he’s going to do there.

Also the problem with house around here is the Return on Investment is too high. It’s unfortunate that property is an investment that makes more money. As a first time home buyer my barrier for entry is much higher than someone out of state. This drives up the home prices and I can’t compete with out of state money trying to make more money.

If you are a Vermont resident more than 1/2 the year I think you should pay lower taxes. If you have a second home rented long term I think you should get more of a tax credit. If you own a home and do short term rentals double all current taxes. If you have a home that sits empty more than 6 months a year triple the taxes.

Correct. The part that’s on the hill is in the sun and is sanded. This flat part that runs through the woods that’s a waste of good sand.

The source you cited also ranks VT as the 30th in the nation by uhaul movers. Its garbage data as stated elsewhere.

Tax unoccupied homes? Or all short and long term rental houses as well?

Go get a job working for your local town, or better yet just show up and tell them how to do their job. Should they have put sand down when it’s 40 degrees and there’s water running off the road? Idk about you but I don’t like seeing my tax money running in the ditch.

Do elaborate if you, please. I know your acronym is more than eloquent enough for reddit, but call me old fashioned for asking for you to substantiate your argument if you must.
