Yeah, right. There’s nowhere to live because you ca t build there, which I’m good with. Fact is, per capita, homelessness is almost as bad as the west coast and rent and housing per sq ft isn’t far off either. Outside of SMBs, there’s virtually little corporate opportunity and the entire state lives and dies on how well the deacons go. Love the state and those Vermonters with generational legacies there, but it is scratching out a living, unless you’re among the rare who own a successful SMB or are in upper Mgmt in the few larger corps. Even overpaid, tenured professors at Middlebury College can afford a home there. Selfishly, having grown up there 40 years ago, I’m glad, other than the imports, very little has visibly changed, just the whacked out culture. Still one of the best places on the planet and Act 250 will keep it that way. Hmmmm, makes me think, “watch what you wish for”

There are plenty of places to live just not places that will allow you to live the lavish lifestyle on these wages but certainly it's a doable scenario. Nothing in this life is easy and the longer you wait for it to get easier the worse off your situation will get.
