Reply to comment by 4low4low4low4low in The 'Airbnbust' proves the Wild West days of online vacation rentals are over by amhais

We would like to not completely depend on tourismm but the airbnbs aren't helping. Like 90% of the software company I work for moved out of vt due to lack of housing. We are a remote shop now. That is like 100 people that could contribute to the economy gone. Airbnbs swallowing up our housing is not helping this.

The #2 and #3 largest employers in vermont are ski resorts. The state is fucked it’s never had any real economy and probably never will. I grew up in killington..there has always been a bunch of empty housing stock that local workers couldn’t afford..airbnb can be your whipping post but it’s not going to change the realities of vermont…
