No I thought I was replying to a runner that was complaining about unleashed dogs… this definitely wasn’t supposed to be here. VSC thing just keeps getting worse.

That's always the argument rich people make. Sure, we're making it hell to live there, but we pay taxes.

I'd rather have a worker living there contributing more than just money.

Marlboro's demise still stings. I graduated 30 years ago this May and I would have loved to attend a reunion. Sigh.

If ain't the state university of New Jersey (uvm) the legislature doesn't give a shit.

Are you on the right post?

I mean that's how eminent domain works. Tbh pretty surprised, fairly rare in 21st century VT

Hey, I agree, $450 a night is ridiculous, but if you have people willing to pay that, go for it!

It's not really "Act 250". It's that the public majority doesn't want anything built and Act 250 is the result of that. As is Current Use, which literally is a program to reduce development. Add on conservation easements and zoning and NIMBYism at the more local level. Vermont doesn't want development.

And then throw that in the pot with wastewater, building costs, labor shortages, and seasonal building schedules and here we are.

I feel genuinely bad for the people that have been there for years, they are slowly watching this school go down, it can’t be fun.

... yes?

The whole VSC system has become such a shitshow. Administrators should be embarrassed.

I wish financial ruin on all these Tiktok landleeches.

Lol, Vermont is my home…so where should I move? Know any open housing?

> From experience, there isn't a real LGTBQ community

I'd like to think that we're so inclusive that having separate communities doesn't matter.

Praise be

They are a bit crazy. He always wears an infowars t-shirt. They are anti-maskers and anti-vaxers. She is nice, just really clueless. I'm just always amazed someone would take the time to paint their actual house that way.

It’s a matter of time before closure, for sure. It will be a great loss to the community though.

That’s wild. I can’t imagine they’ll be around for much longer making moves like that. Sorry for your situation hope you get your degree soon or are able to move on to an institution that better supports you and your fam.

Write to seven days or vpr or something?

That's what I understand about the situation as well. Town simply claimed part of a person's property when the redid the road.

UVM not providing housing is definitely the biggest problem with the rental market in Burlington. But at it's peek there were 300+ Airbnb listings in Burlington (To be fair that number has dropped dramatically in the last couple years) That's a huge number of unavailable mostly lower cost apartments. Imagine a 300 unit complex being built somewhere in the old north end. That would be a TON of housing.

If they are planning on opening up renting to non students, then I don't see how they can kick families out, since they'll need to abide by non discrimination laws- which includes discrimination on partnership/child status.

Either way, it's rough and I wish you luck. What a shitty thing for them to do

This is what is meant by defund the police. Take some funds and use them so the police aren’t as required for mental health emergencies
