I'm not saying it isn't an issue but there is not any proof it is a result of remote worker jobs. Plenty of other areas are also having similar issues. And my remote job certainly did not impact the living options for a local and I definitely contribute to local businesses. I could commute into my office but that would be wasteful all around and VT would get less tax money in the process.

Not sure why this was downvoted so much? Legit was just trying to understand the problem

I see, thanks for the explanation. Even if the state is offering this money up front, wont they get significantly more in the long run from the taxes off of these people? Looking at the population data, it looks like VT increased in population about 3.5%, Also home prices are insane everywhere right now, not just in VT

A bunch of people came to VT during covid? and that is causing an issue? Just trying to understand the problem is all

About how long did it take from when you applied to when you received it?

Thanks for taking the time to explain. I actually grew up just across the river in NH, finished school there and couldn't find a job locally so I ended up in MA. I was in MA until my work finally allowed us to work remotely permanently and that's how I ended up here.

Just trying to understand your point of view, why is me bringing a remote job bad? I'd also add that it means in addition to my taxes, I spend money at local businesses

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't the point of the program to bring new people to the state? IE now VT is getting my income taxes that were previously going to another state
