Why is that?

Was it small penis hillbillies anonymous?

Now explain the high number of lifted pickups seen on their roofs in the median of the highway in the middle of summer.

Not to pick on you, but it shouldn’t rely on a “feeling” (even though I feel the same). Why can’t they just update a website with the current status of the program? If they’re overwhelmed and out of money, getting the word out might save them the hassle of a lot of extra emails and phone calls.

I asked you pretty direct questions which you refused to answer. Since I'm curious here is another. What did you see in my comment history that made you block me?

Edit: Jeeze you block quicker than a mod on /r/conservative. One last parting shot, you really should consider the possibility that you don't have everything figured out. Sometimes other people make good points, even if you don't like them. Just something to chew on.

It's first come first serve, so wouldn't count on any help.

There are probably electric cars that exist that can handle that stretch of road with ease.

lol

oh well! sucks to suck!

All its missing is the instagram handle bumper sticker.

Yeah but there is no gas station on this road. The closest ones are on 7a or 100.

I’ve driven this road countless times. The issue here probably isn’t a dead battery. It’s that this western section is an unmaintained road in the winter. The driver probably got stuck and/or gave up when they realized the road wouldn’t be plowed if they kept going.

that's what folks did in CA when there was grid issues.... lol

depends on the station. some have towing services. even EV chargers!

Does any advice on Reddit qualify as legal advice? Can someone hold me to my comment and sue? Actually asking, because I don't know; I'm leaning towards no.

What if a person states that it is legal advice, would that even hold up from a Reddit comment?

Car rentals are not the same legal standing as home rentals.

>I am not going to tell someone it is frivolous to try or at least make the demand.

They are more than welcome to ignore all Reddit advice, look up the information themselves, ask a lawyer, speak to a tenant representative, or do what ever they please. It has been asked, it has been settled, but they can still try.

shitty tesla too!

must be one of those legendary flatlander terraformers!

It is, actually.

How about real snow tires? Driving skills and good decision making?

Can you carry them too and add them on when needed?

I see plenty of low ground clearance + summer tires vehicles stuck on Vermont back roads every year. Wait until mud season and you've got a 50/50 chance of seeing one high centered in the middle of any -mud- dirt road.

> Just trying to understand your point of view

I'll say it - I am an asshole. Born and bred Vermonter. Grew up low income (welfare).

> why is me bringing a remote job bad?

We're not making enough exports. Our economy is based on tourism and hospitality which is awful. This provides few opportunities for people to make good money (above 40k), and with the cost of living being outrageous here, it's hard to keep folks employed and housed. The effect of all this causes a lot of folks born here to move away and seek opportunities elsewhere, eroding our culture and perpetuating this revolving door of natives out - out of state folks in. I get that this has been the norm since the 70's, but it's shit.

> I'd also add that it means in addition to my taxes, I spend money at local businesses

good! but be sure you're actually going to local businesses and using their services. Do NOT use things like uber, instacart or door dash. While those companies give money to local vermonters, you're giving money to companies that operate in tax havens and their labor practices are dog shit.

Lastly - my problem is not with you or who you are. I am certain you're an upstanding citizen and probably a cool person. My problem is that the state made a system to import people here for financial gain while a lot of us are suffering. Natives like myself have NO incentives to stay in Vermont. I know I romanticize this a bit and call it my birth place, home state, and what ever, but this is where I grew up, this is where I have kids, this is where my family is. Other folks tell us natives that we're problematic for having an opinion on it - while we're being priced out of the market while living in what the real estate folks called "the most moved in state" during the pandemic. My family roots run pretty deep - but I am no mountain man, or redneck - just a guy that grew up in poverty and managed to get somewhere and now hitting more roadblocks now that I have the money to accomplish all the goals I set growing up. I've been told that nearly everything about my life, family and way of life here is wrong, and that I need to move out (not by you, but others).

at the end of the day - it's entitled flatlanders coming here that piss me off. A bunch of them came in on a free 7k ticket and got an immediate jump on home ownership or what not - while the rest of us are struggling to stay housed.

I hope that brought some clarity to this discussion without entirely coming off like an asshole.

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking. Legally the landlord can put up a sign as long as it isn’t threatening anyone. But if the sign was to come up missing and none of the tenants know anything about it. Then 🤷🏻‍♂️

Just make sure there aren’t any cameras around.

I know which facebook group this came from

>But I think tenants should have immediate and very real legal recourses for landlords who don't maintain properties to 100% habitable conditions,

Absolutely agree.

>maintaining the entire property at code.

Agreed, but it's far more nuanced than what you are stating. Safety is the top priority, and that's what code is for. The nuance comes with the urgency to repair, the funds to repair, timeline, active tenants disruption, oversight.

I agree, that there are awful landlords that abuse the system and their tenants. I agree that the system needs to be corrected with more quality checks and oversight.

I just also understand that there is way more depth to many of the maintenance issues that you raised and that tenants raise as well. I tend to agree with the tenants, but I also understand that correcting these issues takes time, displaces tenants, and have many more layers.

This is a subject that I'm involved with, but I understand that I'm in no way an expert.

Like most state funded programs in Vermont, it's comically underfunded/understaffed so it really only exists enough to exist as a "box checking" activity for the state.

Plates make sense

Ct plates. Checks out

Why oh why not throw a $100 gas generator in the trunk for an emergency???
