Vermont is turning into what Maine on the coast has become. Impossible to afford for locals. We are becoming service personnel for the rich.

Vermont was better before Starbucks.

Very much so. I came here about four years ago but I’m blue collar and bought a house that had sat on the market. I’m giving serious consideration to moving to Maine myself for lower property taxes and less expensive land. The plan was to buy my house here, fix it up in a year then flip it and get something in the country where I can homestead properly. Plan a huge garden, get fruit and nut trees in the ground, harvest timber, raise animals and all that good stuff. Coronavirus screwed up my plans but I’m working on it. The state is lovely but it’s become unaffordable.
