I remember my car breaking down on I-89 years and years ago and a state trooper offering to let me sit in the cruiser while waiting for a tow truck to arrive. They're not all bad. You just have to know how to interact with a cop.

Awesome thank you!

Probably still asshurt about ACAB and BLM.

I'm wondering where the staties and/or SBPD were when I got passed by an asshole in a red BMW on Route 7 north on Saturday night. Fucker flicked their lights and everything. Who in the fuck drives 70 at night?

Important things like posting on social media that they'll always be there for youuuuuuuu.

That’s what happens when you defund police

I live in a similar town (or maybe the same one!). My Class II dirt road has been undergoing its worst mud season ever that started in Mid-January, and the town can't get the maintenance equipment on it either until it dries out in April/May. They've taken to sprinkling the worst bits with loose rocks to help with traction.

On the positive side, my road isn't being used as a cut-through anymore.

If you like out to eat there isn’t much of that there . Shop around , try to find a market basket for groceries.as some Places to shop are a tad expensive.

If you do rent something and have to provide your own heating oil that can be expensive also. If you make your own food for the most part your golden there are tons of great farms around.

Vermont is mostly rural but the scenic views and nature are amazing !

We are planning our permanent move back to either Vernont or Maine next summer .

Yup already also posted in there as well 👍🏻

Also it's hard to research people's personal experiences, hence why I'm asking on here. Why so hostile?

Emotional blackmail a common tactic for people who know their stance doesn't stand up to scrutiny.

You moved to a state with shitty roads. Deal with it. All of our vehicles are rotting out and making noises.

What are you talking about? I've seen 100s of posts like this that clearly show that people don't want to research this stuff by themselves.

There's a subreddit for ALL of these stupid questions: r/NewToVermont

Any reason besides housing?

Right that's why I asked, so people would reply with answers

Took them 9 hours to respond to my domestic violence call...thanks for the help guys

People are literally telling you what it's like in these replies. It's expensive unless you have a 6 figure job.

My standard response to these posts: Don't, unless you've done your research. Bad housing market. Vermonters can't find rentals. Think before you hop on over.

Lol

I really think people don't understand the amount of money it would take to ensure that all of the dirt roads in every town somehow don't develop pot holes or frost heaves. My town has only 1000 people, and has to maintain 50 miles of road. I would be paying 2x to 3x taxes (at least) just to fund a multi year effort to get the roads rebuilt to drain water better, not to mention constant grading (which is not even possible in very wet conditions). Honestly the best approach is to drive slowly when roads are rough, and really just try to drive cars appropriately suited for Vermont.

I lived in Vermont for a year. I would still live there if there was appropriate housing but the market is very tight and expensive there . Had a great experience , loved the state , wish I could be there right now ! Look at Zillow for rentals it’s slim .

I worked at Okemo and they did provide housing for some out of state employees so you could ask about that .

I'm currently in the NY southern tier. I'm not sure what the realities are of year round, definitely looking for advice as to what that looks like!

Where do you currently live? Are you prepared for the realities of the state year-round, not just during ski season?

Also, housing will be your biggest obstacle. It was slim pickings before covid, now it's slim pickings and very expensive.
