Affordable housing is a term that refers to nothing at all. You have subsidized housing and you have the cheapest houses (smallest, worst quality, worst locations).

No, I'm a hard-core Leftist anti-zionist; if you're shooting for accuracy. With your 1 day old shit reddit account.

Of course, I may have overlooked your implied /s

Market solutions have been allotted plenty of time and have failed to deliver on their promises. Now it's time to trial publicly funded housing, medicine, education, food, and energy to compare the two solutions and see which works better.

Exactly.

Cool? His post is pointing out the threat. You've now taken this up as your cause for some reason to both relitigate slate ridge and to now downplay the threat? This appears to be a block and move on situation. Best of luck with your search for an argument.

Or else.... I'll downvote you etc. It's not cool or excusable but I cant speak for Rama. But Rama also needs to understand that stirring the pot politically is going to invoke the crazies too.

My question is.... what about this post is VT specific? Maybe post this in the VT politics sub rather than trolling here.

I'll never understand why so many of you refuse to use the block function on these platforms. Block Rama and you will never be annoyed by him again. It's quite simple.

As for the rest, that's cute. Anyway, I'm going to continue to speak out strongly against literal domestic terrorist swine and anyone dumb enough to downplay their intentions. Not sure if you've noticed, but speaking out against these things isn't exactly "being scared of the bully." It's quite the opposite, actually. Downplaying what these folks are up to is actually quite cowardly though.

No, you punish the system. That's the only way that works, carrot and stick. So you punish an underperforming school, reduce it's funding and then....somehow....the school improves? Or it goes under, that's cool, too, for the pro-private school folks, at least.

No I don't get offended by strangers on the internet. I do get annoyed by Rama's postings though. From what I've read the town took care of the issue. You obviously are significantly sensitive to this topic. I didn't know Rama was posting to whine about an anonymous threat. I mean here you are preaching your pov to me. You lumped me in with the group, swore at me told me I'm unwelcome all because I don't see the benefit of Scott going down their and fanning flames. You must come from a serious place of entitlement and privilege, because admitting youre scared of the bully is accepting the bully, so no the scary gun club man does not scare me personally. Fuck off and I hope you leave your windows down every time it rains this year.

The "trustafarian" from MA, MD, DE, NJ, CT, NYC, CO, and CA have replaced almost everyone of my generation that left here at 18.... They don't work, still have disposable income, and can buy rental houses here to have some sort of income. Literally I know hundreds of these people as I fix their cars.

This is actually high praise coming from a Mid-Vermont Christian School apologist. Y'all hate when your shenanigans get called out, huh? How's that indoctrination going?

To me it's reality.

But apparently not affordable rentals. I work in the area but may have to find something else because every apartment is almost Burlington priced, run down, small, and no pets.

My assumption is all the would be apartments are air bnbs instead.

your a real anti semite Israel has a right to follow its faith and defend itself you leftist anti semite you with everyone else in Vermont how dare you I don't forgive you

This is the single dumbest pice of hyperbolic nonsense I've read on here all week.

Oh no, did I offend you?

Either way, I didn't say all guns are bad. I said domestic terrorist scumbags from out of state who want to train other domestic terrorist scumbags shouldn't be welcome in our communities. Other piece if shit scumbags who would defend or downplay domestic terrorist activities should also not be welcome in our communities.

There are tenant protections and I bet Vermont legal aid goes bananas if they try to evict a dealer.

That's part of it, we also have a giant homeless population due to the miro open invitation to the sears lane experiment, where growing up here we never had hundreds of homeless people at any given point in the year, and now all of a sudden there are people cooking meth across from an elementary school in a multi level homeless shack....

Will wealthy white men ever actually do any jail time for their crimes?

I don't, sorry that wasn't clear. Someone said Republicans lose because they're shit heels, that's why only democrats win. I just meant some Republicans can win if they aren't insane election deniers. They need to be in the new England republican mold of Charlie baker, Phil Scott, the guy in NH, etc.

Too much negativity doesn’t help.

It would be so awesome if there were a viable replacement.
