Reply to comment by herklederkleferkle in Vermont’s rates of homelessness are (almost) the worst in the country by DaddyBobMN

> Can VTers ever just accept that there is something, anything, wrong with the state without trying to distract from the issue?

Oh I do. Crime is up, more homeless folk than ever, cost of living is fucked, and most natives are moving out and flatlanders are moving in. Shit is real fucked.

HUGE bummer too, I loved growing up in VT and the landscape still takes my breath away when I drive home to my parents. Unfortunately I was one of those people who were pushed out. Part of my comment comes from the frustration I feel when talking about VT with friends and family who are still in-state. It feels like they are actively trying to ignore a lot of the major issues VT is experiencing.
