It’s a dilapidated old mill town full of alcoholics, meth, and teen pregnancies. There’s also a persistent stink from the local sewage plant. The only thing it has going for is high school football but that’s really not saying much.

good question! i don't know. i highly doubt that most of those commenters weren't from atlanta, though—& i imagine the same is true of the other 30%.

the actual proposal comes from the atlanta police foundation—the city government, including the mayor, are just necessary to give it legitimacy. (for example, by having people think it was the mayor's idea in the first place!)

Is there a trend of trans people leaving the south? I haven't heard anything about it.

All five of them that showed up? This was comical, and the speaker was not great.

Terrible town. Arguably top 3 worst in VT.

Is 70% of speakers during a single public comment session commensurate with the population? Or highly motivated people and activist types?

Reach out to Rep. Taylor Small. She's an amazing rep for Winooski at the forefront of a lot of important work in this area. She is trans herself. I know less about Rep Troy Headrick and he's not trans but I believe he's also doing some good work too/in the progressive caucus.

What specifically are YOU looking to bring to Vermont? Are you just looking to be coddled? Or are you looking to bring value to the community you want to move to. Preferably bring your own house or you're welcome to a pod behind the Burlington Post Office and halfway house.

The state? Nothing specific. However, there sure are a lot of LGTBQIA+ friendly spots pushing for even more welcoming locations. It’s not perfect. In fact, a trans woman was murdered up here not too long ago. However, the outpouring of support was massive.
