If only they worried about the rest of our crumbling infrastructure the way they do affordable housing and bike lanes.

Nearly all infrastructure funding goes to roads & highways lmao

And adding roads on top of maintenance to what we have is only one component that needs addressed.

This is silly.

It's silly to focus on needs that everyone has, instead of special interest groups? Explain.

Housing is a need that everyone has. This is hilarious. Affordable housing is somehow serving "special interest groups"? You ok bro? Did the man on tv tell you to be angry about homeless people and now here we are? This is odd.

While housing is a need everyone has, Vermont in no way has ever been an easy place to live back to colonial times, expecting others to pay for fresh transplants housing is bullshit. There are plenty of states where you can survive year round outside if you don't want to work for a living. Vermont however isn't one of them, and yes you should suffer the consequences of your actions where if you are a shit person with no marketable skill to survive you do not belong here and if you try the elements will kill you. Try somewhere easy like the Carolinas, Virginias, Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, Alabama, or Florida. Those are all places you can be a vagrant all year long and survive.
