Ok Maynard Keynes

Scott's definitely a large part of the delay, but the board once fully formed weren't able to issue more than a few outdoor grow licenses before the seeds needed to be planted in May, so much of what we have right now is indoor.

The biggest slam against them has been the dragging of feet, causing significant delays in getting licenses for growers and retail stores.

Vermont doesn't have cities like other states do. And better housing needs to be a statewide issue, not just foisted on Burlington, Rutland, Bennington, etc.

Unlike what you may have learned in econ 101, the "free market" doesn't exist. Instead the market is unpredictable and tends to favor the rich. They just wave that off as externalities, but ultimately durable goods markets behave differently than widget markets.

A number of towns in VT have PUD density bonus for reaching a better environmental practices, public good projects, and even for more open space.

Developers need a carrot and stick method to "encourage" them to build denser housing. Otherwise they will keep building homes out of the reach of most Vermonters.

It's simple to say that regulation is stopping more housing stock from being built. It's also not based in reality.

Developers are going to build what makes them the most money, which are high end single family homes. Even building an extra 500 homes without regulation isn't going to help do anything but create more opportunities for out of state investors and pad developers' pockets, which is exactly why they're the biggest proponents of deregulation.

PUDs lower the cost for the developer, but that isn't realized on the sale price enough to make much difference for the home buyer. And maybe through bonuses developers can squeeze a few extra single family houses, but that's not going to put a dent in the housing crisis.

Building more single family homes sprawled out is a large part of the issue, and Act 250 at least keeps some of that in check. We need denser housing options in downtime or growth areas and encouraging public transportation to those areas. Otherwise we continue with the same failed "trickle down" method we have now.

I remember skiers bitching about snowboarders fucking up their ski areas. They were gatekeeping then, and OP is gatekeeping now. Put a sign up on the entrance if it hurts your fee fees so much.

-15 in Fairfax with a -36 windchill. Brrr

Needless to note that the creator of this racist meme, Jack Posobiec, really truly believes that Democratic leadership is abusing and trafficking children in the basement of Cosmic Pizza.

Have you considered the Grange in Berlin?

Maybe if you were 6'7" and female you could hang out with that other dude.

What if I have a Samsung watch?

Das Bierhaus? They've been gone a while, but the Turkish Kebab House that took it's place is pretty rad.

That kitchen! Original cabinets, weird layouts, linoleum floor.

This whole place is a "handyman special".

DeJoy declined to step down, and there are no other mechanisms to remove him. So keep plucking that chicken

It's not just Williston. You can thank Louis DeJoy, the orange man for appointing him, and the decades of Republicans in Congress trying to privatize the post office by saddling it with debt. This has been their goal for years and it's now really affecting on the ground deliveries.

Bravecto has also worked for me. And it doesn't kill dogs like Seresto

I'd much rather leave the house 5 minutes early and drive 70 than leave late and speed to try to make up time (hint: driving 80 doesn't get you there much faster than the guy behind doing 70).

The faster you go, the more gas you use, so joke's on your wallet.

I believe it was November-April to get everything totally restored according to a nurse I know, but their main systems were back up by January.

I usually just use Canadian ATMs to take out cash if needed (taking the hit for the ATM fees, but the exchange rate is fair), but these days there are a number of credit cards that don't charge foreign transaction fees and have similar rates. Just know that you'll be "The American" when you whip out your card for the mobile terminal and they need to swipe it and print out a receipt because the US is chip and signature while most of the rest of the world is chip and PIN.

Did they use the same marketing consultant that brought us Vermont Public?

I always appreciate that the quick honk reminder to them to get off their phone and driving at a stop light is so often met with a middle finger. "Too nice" indeed.
