I’m in the same boat! I love where i grew up and would love to move back, but it’s just too expensive. Some folks i went to school with lost their house because their landlord turned their apartment into an air bnb…It’s vile what they get away with

I’m a NY native who moved to VT for work, and i find this is a common sentiment in NY as well. I grew up in the Hudson valley, and once the pandemic hit people came from the city in DROVES. they snatched all the local real estate and turned it all into air bnbs, and turned beloved eateries into over priced and out of place cash grabs. I understand the anger vermonters feel too well.
