Pizza that has a strict set of rules that actively work to prohibit you from building it in the first place, despite you owning the ingredients you want to use and the kitchen that you want to build the pizza in. And even when you address the rules for building, some nearby NIMBY, and a bunch of people they recruited, will file a claim saying they are allergic to pizza and you shouldn't be allowed to build any pizzas, even though you jumped through all the pizza-making hoops.

You can build it. But you need to build a duplicate failover in case the first one sucks. Additionally the ingredients are required to meet some standards but the certification for meeting those standards is a for. Where you just check “yes I meet those standards”.

Also, you find after all that it is a little worse than the other guys who said the state can fuck off and built the pizza he wanted without all the bullshit and you realize the state will never come after him.

They say if you're allowed to make pizza then you're just going to bring billboards next, potentially increase the crime rate from 2 to 4, and that pizza isn't what makes Vermont Vermont.

You keep making comments like this in here and I'm genuinely curious what sorts of regulations Vermont has that are particularly restrictive relative to most other places.

I'm simply referring to the prevalence of BANANA NIMBYs and insufferable busybodies in Vermont and the arcane regulatory state (Act 250) and local hurdles people have to overcome when it comes to building on or developing any kind of property in VT, including residential. It's very easy to challenge, stymie, and delay any kind of development or construction project in VT regardless of size. That is quintessential VT.

Vermont is loaded with select boards that change nothing and wonder why nothing changes.

They think doing nothing is tantamount to preservation, meanwhile most of the forestry isnt even 100 years old.

I ran into a couple challenges building my own house some time ago, but it's mostly just my opinion that Vermont and Vermonters can't ever seem to get out of their own way.
