Yet. The Climate Crisis will incentivize people to move to the Northeast by the tens of millions.

It’s just missing rail lines from White River Junction to St Johnsbury, and from Brattleboro to Manchester. Both of which are feasible because of the Connecticut River valley and the West River Valley respectively.

Ever heard of the Civil Rights Act? Establishing hate as the motivation of a crime is fairly straightforward, especially in the age of social media. Bigots tend to leave a trail of such vitriol that is relatively easy to find and trace.

Housing will be your single greatest pain point. Most of the inventory in the State has been turned into short term vacation rentals.

There would definitely be programs to compensate Farmers for any animals lost to Cougars or Wolves.

Having a handful of Wolf packs running around up and down the State would not be an issue. Especially if the Parents have tracking collars on. Green Mountain National Park would be a great place to reintroduce them to.

Not to mention not allowing the immigration of folks who might possess the relevant skills to replace the waning workforce.

On the trails around Brattleboro and Putney? No one gives a hoot and will let people be. I can’t speak for other places.

This is the new normal unfortunately. During the next El Niño I doubt that VT will have more than 6 inches of snow on the ground at any point.

Reply to Suppose budget was no issue. What inter-town/city rail connections would you build, either within Vermont or from places in Vermont to elsewhere? by DrToadley
There’s basically no reason why we shouldn’t have reasonably speedy Rail lines connecting population centers throughout the state and even branching out directly to Boston and Montreal. I know it would be great if I could take a train from Brattleboro to Burlington in less than the time it takes to drive there.

The Transitional Housing Program has been an abject failure. It would have been vastly cheaper to have bought out these hotels rather than continuing to pay out the nose for rooms at increasingly abusive locations.
