Because it's mud season and too early for the "runaway cows" stories.

Wow, brat of politician busted throwing a house party. If we were still in the 80s they'd make an "underdog gets the girl" movie from it. Geesh.

Hudson Valley native in Vermont as well. Yeah, they're not called "Mass-holes" for nothing.

The other problem though, as in Burlington and the O.N.E. as an example, is that these old houses have been subdivided so much and poorly taken care of that we have neighborhood blite along with increased density and no parking, and they're taking away even more parking as they resurface the streets. Not good for those of us with disabilities, then add in the universities and COVID pushing students into what USED to be family housing. And lets not even get taking about THE PIT downtown. Increasing wages without increasing available housing will just add to the gentrification already going on across the state. If we are going to lower housing cost, available units need to exceed density. The universities have a huge roll to play in the problem.

"The South is more gun friendly than Northern states", yeah bud, we're more education friendly up here than Southern states. Might be a correlation in that assumption.
