There’s something like what you’re looking for that someone puts on in Bridgewater. I can’t remember the name of it but I’m sure keywords will lead you to it..

Nope, I work in the trades with a good look at who and how people are building ADUs... and it’s made me realize these last couple years, there’s no certain group building them. In fact I see regular Vermonters building them for air bnb more than any other outside group.

And no. I don’t own a str. Or a even a house. I rent an ADU from a wealthy second homeowner though. He’s a really good guy, too. I judge him based on who he is as a person, not on his nice car with a yellow license plate or the fact he owns a vacation home that he only spends 5 or 6 months at. And if he told me next year he wants to make my place an Airbnb because it’s a better investment for him, then I wouldn’t think he’s less of a good person, because that’s not what makes a person decent or not, or good for the world.. I don’t need a handout or for someone to compromise their own opportunities...for me? I can put one foot in front of the other and work through my own challenges in life. I lost my last rental to becoming an Airbnb, and that was a multigenerational Vermonter whose dad built the house who sent me packing. He was a good guy too. No judgement, we all do what we need to do.

I’ll say it again. Hate the investment company that bought five handfuls of houses during the rush. Not the guy building a tiny house that will be occupied by some str / his kids and their friends... Not my landlord who buys a million dollar piece of land and builds a second home. No Vermonter who can’t find housing right now was gonna drop the 2.5 mil to develop that kind of acreage. The driveway and utilities cost more than most of us could ever afford for a house.. He didn’t take a slice of Vermont from someone staffing a restaurant who can’t find a house to buy. Really, he just put a nice fat paycheck in a bunch of local tradespeoples pockets, and then gave two of them a place to rent.

Sounds like they are doing what they want with their property. Vermont’s not its own country. The real STR issue is with investors/corps buying up 20 homes or whatever just to pad their accounts.

They are having their friends come up and camp? What happened to live and let live? And ffs they got a wastewater permit the right way and probably paid 40k for a mound so their little tiny house and family camp outs won’t pollute your neighborhood’s wells.

Way more “natives” than you would ever like to admit have an ADU that they air bnb, that they could rent to a local long term if they wanted to...

Hate the big greedy corporation. But lay off the guy who has his friends and co workers up for camp outs. That’s just whining.

It might be there. They can also be plotted 1000 feet off on the ANR database any day of the week.. so take it with a grain of salt.

So because they say please and thank you when they order an ice cream, they couldn’t be racist when tempers fly?

Edit: you saying “kids will be kids” just goes to reduce your credibility further..

That’s just not true at all. If youre driving up 89 to route 4 for one trip to Woodstock in December, you absolutely do not need to buy snow tires for this. What is also not true at all is that Stowe is several more hours than Woodstock. Stowe is a 48 minute longer drive from Boston than it is to Woodstock. And the chance of there being a ridiculous snowstorm on the day they drive up in mid December is minuscule, so no need to factor in the slow driving for that past exit 1. Don’t fear monger and bullshit this visitor.

Edit: I like your username, though.
