It's funny, I had wanted to move to Vermont until I read this sub. Vermonters are absolutely awful if this place is any indication, and this is from a Long Islander. Think they need to revisit for the rudest state.

Agreed reddit attracts the folks with the loudest voices but doesn't necessarily represent a place. I've met all sorts in Vermont, but generally folks here lean much longer than the rest of NE.

This is the Vermont version of Twitter. It's where people come to bitch and be NIMBYs about their subreddit while they complain about them.

Most of Vermont is not on r/Vermont and will go way out of their way to help people in need.

FPF and Facebook are much nicer if you need help from neighbors.

Glad to hear you no longer want to move to our state, why you here then?

It’s just that we all have to do shitty things some times we don’t want to do. There’s a long list of driveways needed to be plowed and it would just be smarter and more efficient to do it yourself at this point. It’s a tax of living here.

Totally get it, but on the Long Island sub for instance if someone asked for help like this you'd get one jerk response and mostly helpful. Seems the opposite here.

Also seems like anytime I've asked about places to bring my family on vacation in Vermont or made the mistake of asking about a place to move there I got all nasty responses. Just reeks of xenophobia and small mindedness and to be honest it's disappointing because I always saw Vermont as the friendlier and more open minded version of New Hampshire. Instead you guys come off like a bunch of angry southern rednecks who think you are your own country.

Well, yeah it’s Vermont. Less diverse 2nd smallest population. What do you expect. Bunch of townies

Also the xenophobia is a little warranted. Vermont is becoming a place everyone wants to move to with not many houses. Creating bidding wars on homes paying 200-300k over appraisal value. Forces reappraisals and eventually raises everyone’s property taxes. It’s kind of just how the world works these days but as a townie Vermonter you can kind of understand where they’re coming from.

I can assure you the majority of dickbags that post here only say shit like this because they can get away with it, I've had neighbors help with my snowed in driveway many times completely unsolicited, people are generally friendly and helpful here, one post on Front Porch Forum will get a ton of helpful responses immediately from my experiences.

This sub is one of the most vile & repulsive aspects of an otherwise nice place to live.
