Reply to comment by Necessary_Cat_4801 in How Can We The Increase Affordable Housing Supply? Ideas? by twentiesforever

Not going to address you insulted me despite the numbers coming from your own states website? I’d argue a significant amount of money comes from people who spend their weekends and vacations at second homes in Vermont, spending money in restaurants, gas stations, mom and pop stores, etc but it doesn’t affect me if you can’t understand how the world works. Because it’s going to keep working whether you’re onboard or not.

Jesus. It's reddit. Get over yourself for fucks sake.

"I'd argue a significant..." is not a meaningful statistic, and the state doesn't live to serve you and will be fine without you.

Good fucking christ rich people are the worst.

It’s Reddit. Okay. “Get over yourself for fucks sake” Here goes then. Save money and buy a house. If you can’t afford it, get a better job. If you can’t find a better job, move to a state with high paying jobs, and if you can’t change your living situation, grow up and look at the hand you’ve given yourself and deal with it.

Lol. I have an advanced degree and a good job. The cost of housing in VT is completely divorced from wages in VT. We're trying to fix it. One of the fixes is making homes available for residents. Deal with it.

You think this is a uniquely Vermont problem? I live in Eastern MA and also can’t afford to live in a nice town. On a six figure salary. This is a New England problem. Vermont is in a better place than MA tho since they at least have land to build

It’s our family home, not mine. Point being, it’s not a Vermont issue. Kicking everyone out isn’t going to help you
