I did. What does being slightly more populated as the second least populated state in the whole country have to do with billboards?

It's not fine the way it is. Preservation is being confused with doing nothing and it's not working

Edit: also I actually live in this state!

If it has access to every image on the internet from a free or for sale page to the entire library of Congress, I don't think it's inherently a tool of thievery.

I also cobble images together with images I didn't make. It's called a collage.

I don't think we need high rises in small towns to have more affordable housing, and the town i moved to just before the pandemic has been having the sidewalk debate for years. my neighbor, who is around my age aka millennial, is from Vermont and says it was a big issue when they were a child. It's silly! We also have unelected positions on our select board and it drives me nuts because they don't do anything!

Edit: I don't want to chop down the trees either, but they are an example of change that has taken place in the state that some would refuse to recognize for the convenience of their stagnant attitude.

I dont like them either, but they're the same types with "take back Vermont" signs too, so should we abolish gay marriage because it doesn't make Vermont, Vermont to them?

Frankly what does make Vermont, Vermont? And how does affordable housing, higher wages, cannabis dispensaries, and better pedestrian access take away from that?

People love the natural landscape, yet it's ruined entirely by power lines which some people argue is a facet of the landscape itself! We all know it's a lame excuse to do nothing, and the fear of outsiders trying to make Vermont something it's not is just absurd.

We should be able to say what it is first before being so afraid of what it shouldn't be. I have yet to meet anyone afraid of change who can.
