Downvoted by fools who think they own their state; I find it comical it only happens on Reddit. I also moved from Colorado. People are definitely curious as to why you moved - but no one has been rude to us directly.

In general, I think the animosity is fairly contained to redditors who are frustrated with cost if living as if it's not a national issue. This is a huge problem, it's part of why I left Colorado- but they're so stuck thinking only of Vermont they don't see or chose not to care that this is a bigger issue, then get mad at people who have some equity to move here as if it's not our right as American citizens with free liberty between states residency.

I also posted something and got the same animosity, but I don't suffer fools... so it had no bearing on my decision.

People are and should be upset that unfettered capitalism is destroying our ability to live simple lives... however they should not be taking it out on fellow citizens suffering from the same but only slightly better off.
