Based on all the comments here you really, really need to reconsider and go somewhere else. From all your responses moving to VT will wind up being a disaster for you. You are simply not prepared for the societal realities there and it will lead you all to become like all the other unfortunate, ill-prepared and angry people who already live substandard lives. I’m sorry for the brutal candor but no one else seems willing to be to the degree required. You will not find a house for your family for $300,000 that you will want to inhabit and rich people who can pay cash will snap them up the day they list. That’s just one of many harsh realities in pretty little declining Vermont.
