I’m sorry you feel that way. I’d encourage you to listen to the voices of those who this sort of racism affects. They say this sucks, but I’m happy you’re comfortable around casual racism and barely masked dog whistles. Enjoy your privilege.

Also, no one but you claimed this was a professional or “legitimate” news source you dingus brain. In typical right-wing fashion, you created an issue to get bent out of shape and argue about that didn’t exist before you created it.

Yes, someone shared their thoughts in what appears to be a blog and then shared it here on Reddit to create a dialogue (and promote their blog, I’m sure). I’m sorry that string of events triggered you in this way. I hope you can pull through this difficult time. Sending healing vibes 🙌

I built a fence with 4x4s maybe 4-5 years ago. Dug the holes to 3ft and it's been fine. No movement or anything. Still looks good.

Actually it’s more like spending $200 to build something you can sell for $150 v. Spending $250 on something you can sell for $400.

Actually our population is declining… and single family homes are still necessary and important, not everyone wants to live in a City. Government regulations made developing a property a 6 figure gamble on whether you may or may not get permits… that means developers need to make up that money. If the state got out of the way, developers could afford to build houses that coulld be sold cheaper since they didn’t need to cough up a million dollars just to get permits.

Depends on what you are using, what you are keeping in (or out) and how much maintenance you want to do.

I fenced in a yard for my dogs with 4x4’s and packed driveway stone around them. 4 years in they haven’t budged, they are at MOST 3 feet deep probably closer to 2.5

Pounded cedar posts in for livestock, tend not to go as deep, but you may have to do some maintenance every year or so to pound a few back in or straighten some out.

Love grey jays. The only place I’ve seen them is in the Northeast Kingdom and I was amazed at how curious and open with humans they are. You could almost fed them out of your hand.

As far as fences go, forget about the frost. It's irrelevant. Just dig a hole deep enough to keep your post from tipping over.

> Contractors aren't making cheap housing because it's not as profitable for almost as much effort.

Wrong! Contractors aren't making cheap housing because they literally can't due to current regulations. All condo buildings are luxury because they have to be, it could easily be profitable if there was less regulation around building multi unit mixed use housing in VT.

If you are going for the first time do it!! Also the graveyard 🪦 is cute. Do not think this is an all day affair! Two hours tops!! There are plenty of things to do in this area!!

slippery slope fallacy. zzzz address the bill, not some wild "what ifs" pulled from your ass

it's pretty unlikely that this bill passes anyway

It was up hill on our way home too!

I hear brunch is too crowded…oh wait 😂

Historic snowstorm? Is this sarcasm?

Allowing more infill in designated villages/ downtown areas makes sense. Allowing suburban sprawl in open areas will make Vermont look like NJ or Raleigh NC. My fear is that they won’t strike a good balance between promoting affordable housing and preserving what makes Vermont so unique and desirable.

If you feel so strongly and legitimately think they’re trying to kill your kid, call the child/children in sick.

The anti-vaxxers/maskers have nothing to do with all that energy anymore. Might as well make snow days the next existential threat, apparently.

"Why don't you move to Stowe?" "NO, because Route 100."

(Plus, I apparently never even refer to it because I just had to teach it to Swype.)

Kids dont need to be in person on snow days

The shitpost attempts these days are depressingly bad

You can just tell us you have no idea what you're talking about instead

Hook, line and sinker. They have you.

Do you actually believe that the state will stop after taking this step of control over local zoning?

The state already “incentivizes” traditional village settlement patterns (largely along now un-managed rivers in the age of climate change??? /smh) with designation, funding and regional planning entities.

I’m sure Burlington residents are gonna love the plan that the Jericho/Underhill legislators have in store for them.

This is not gonna end well or inexpensively.

This is about new construction. That's where your started. Contractors aren't making cheap housing because it's not as profitable for almost as much effort. Period. No one, that isn't on some sort of government funded or outreach/charity endeavor is making cheap housing. And go talk to a realtor or a lender about $90-150k homes and prospective buyers credit. I'm in a family of bankers and mortgage brokers.
