Fair point. I just worry that the rhetoric around this doesn't fit the reality, and there is often a pattern of outside activists imposing their views on the local community. But framing it in terms of priorities is valid

That is not true. That protestor was killed after firing on the police

I wish people understood whare they were protesting. This was a proposal by a black city council woman to create a training center and improve the quality of Atlanta policing. Strange optics to have a bunch of white people from outside the community tell black people of Atlanta what they should be doing

Did you take a picture during a snowstorm of people driving slowly wondering why they're not driving faster?

It's weird that "cooperating with prosecutors" is seen as a bad thing. She's not under investigation, it's the source of the funds. VTDigger is trying very hard to make this a scandal.

Update: this place is so toxic. I posted a suggestion on how to get help, based on my experience and people are criticizing me and down voting me? Next time I won't bother to help

When I had that issue I contacted Welch and it was fixed immediately. But may be different now that he's in the Senate. Try Balint

Your last sentence is key. It's up to hunters to keep their tradition responsible, not the rest of us to deal with the irresponsible ones.

And then they probably brag about the kill as if they did all the work

You know what, I moved here because a job needed to be filled. I pay my taxes and volunteer for the community. I fight for more housing and jobs. And I'm sick of people who happened to be born here thinking I shouldn't have a say.

The latter. Basically buying them as stocks to sell when value went up. I'd be all for buying houses to rent out

I know out of state people who were thinking of buying up houses as investments, and explained to them how obnoxious that was

I lived in DC, with some horrible and rude drivers, and Vermont is just worse. It's weird. It's almost accepted here to turn left in front of someone and act shocked when they honk

I love how this article somehow turned to an attack on organized religion. Easier to attack people already doing a lot than to actually help

Horrible. I hope they catch the guy and he goes to jail

I got a random call by a realtor asking if I wanted to sell my house and it rubbed me the wrong way. Not sure "cold calling" is the best approach

It would be helpful to know what the players wanted and what steps they thought weren't enough

YES. That drives me crazy around here. Like people suddenly stopping to let me pull onto the road but I have to gun it to avoid other oncoming cars. Just follow the right of way!

It's apocalyptic. All the kids at our daycare were weird today. They knew something is wrong

I had a similar issue in a smaller scale. Live in a development. My neighbors' kids played in our yard. At first it was just occasionally crossing over, then full on playing in the yard. If they had just said "is that OK" I would have said yes, as they were being respectful. But they acted entitled. Soon enough they were leaving trash in our yard. So we got a fence.

Sorry this isn't helpful but I wonder how much of the housing shortage comes from VT law limiting landlord rights. I considered renting out part of my house but heard so many of these horror stories I figured it wasn't worth it

I know this rubs some the wrong way, but finding a good faith community helps. Progressive churches especially welcome anyone, and give structure to otherwise open time. They helped me a lot with i was single and friendless in a new city

And the shelter we adopted ours from made it clear they want her leashed and well trained, for her own safety and comfort

I love dogs. But I hate dog people.

Or maybe we get tired of debating the semantics of a subpoint of a side comment of a post that was not on the topic of Balints name recognition

She was the majority leader of the state Senate
