I filled out the "it's a gift car" paperwork and forged signatures wherever needed so I could avoid the hundred of dollars and reams of paperwork to continue driving my shitbox.

Glad to know the misery of re-registering a vehicle is a Vermont exclusive problem. I was wondering if it was this dumb in every state.

He is not getting special treatment. If you look at any number of zoning violations which have made it as far as court cases and state intervention, extensions and delays are the norm, not the exception. This is mostly because the other option is the state going on private land and doing something. What is the state going to do, send in the demo crew to take down an outbuilding and incur the legal risk of doing so? Not to mention, no matter who the person is the headlines of “state bulldozes private structures as owner tries to raise money to appeal” or some such headline baiting bullshit will cause an outcry.

Septic fixes, out building permits, setback violations, all sorts of shit gets a pass. The state has a loud bark and tiny bite on zoning issue.

Go for it! You will do fine here as Americans live to eat and eat. Come in the late spring and you will love the summer and Autumn. Winter is only 5.5 months long and most days are pretty nice. You will want to be active outside as much as possible. -28F may happen a few days but it makes 20F seem warm. Stowe / Waterbury/ Morrisville are busy year round and really nice people. Skiing, snowmobiling, Mountain Biking, etc .Housing is a challenge but you will be working all the time. That is how people survive, work. The work culture may surprise you.
