nooooo 😳

🤣🤣

I'm not suggesting that at all. The point I am making is that in addition to revising zoning considerations you must also impose some form of legislation like is being done in tourist towns out in Colorado to mitigate STR.

Edit: My own neighborhood has 12 single family homes. Since Covid the number of STR has gone from 2 to 5 of the 12 total houses. One of which was formerly a single family for a long term renter who had to move due to the house being sold to someone who turned it into an STR.

Just eliminating STR's will not be enough to address the housing shortage because there are not enough single family houses to fill the shortage.

Revising zoning so developers can build something other than single family neighborhoods will help address the issue much better in the long term.

For my pergola I did 48” then gravel in the bottom of the hole an some in the sono-tube. No movement in 3+ years. But I was mostly sand in south Burlington.

Yeah this gives off heavy NEK vibes 😂

they will heave at three feet and need to driven back down every coupe years depends also what your soil is like if you are on well drained light sandy soil 18 inches will work heavy wet clay even at 4 feet they will heave

I was born in Vermont and I go to Stowe. I go to other mountains, but why would I not go to one of the best mountains in the state? Not to mention Bolton is right next door. They are a perfect pair.

Vermont's population increased between the 2010 and 2020 censuses and is estimated to be continuing to increase YoY since then.

The good old days.

Exactly, fall in line or shut up. Don’t get started with that sort or critical thinking or constructive talk. This select board incumbent is obviously a misguided racist POS. Not like you or me.

I think this bill or a similar bill is likely to pass this or next session.

Please read the proposed legislation, it’s linked from the Digger story.

The elements of the regional plan portion of the bill are straight up central planning, including a requirement to hire “housing resource navigators” to direct the Towns.

More layers of government regulation never make life (or housing) more affordable for average Vermonters.

Its those wind gusts that’ll get you. Every panel is a wind resistant sail and considerable force will push over your fence. Go the four feet down (its only 48”) It’ll be solid.

STR = Short Term Rental (AirBNB/VRBO)

Been at Walmart for almost 2 years now. Unless you trying to get truck driver job to bring freight to the stores. The actual stores do not do a drug test. I'm assuming truck driver you get tested. I work at the store in Rutland

What's STR?

True story - must've been winter of 86 into 87 - we had a storm so bad that the kids from IP didn't get to NC until NOON. that was so far back in the day, when you had to listen to WIKE (MOO didn't exist) to hear school closings... good times.

> Allowing suburban sprawl in open areas will make Vermont look like NJ or Raleigh NC.

Makes sense that our legislators would want that, since most of them are from places like those. (yuk yuk)

It's a good report. VPO is doing a great service by shining a light on these people.

That said, the last line made me chuckle: > I’m not telling you to withhold support from these two candidates. I’m just identifying relevant information that the candidates themselves are trying to hide.

I'm not telling you not to vote for these people. I'm just telling you they are terrible, terrible people. lol.

I did 4 feet, don’t recall why. Anyway, it’s holding up great!

> We need to stop living in the days gone by where Vermont can be majority single-family homes and wide open spaces

I agree about the single-family homes, but we absolutely must keep the wide-open spaces.

mfs literally scared of snowflakes maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan
