Redditors like to talk a big game so I was concerned about this as well when we moved from Colorado.

Since being here, I realize that it's a lot harder to be mean in person. People mind their own business and keep to themselves for the most part. However, they've all been kind once I initiated a conversation. I'm really glad I didn't let salty redditors deter us from relocating to VT.

With that, I understand where they're coming from. When you grew up in the same house that's been in the family for generations and your livelihood is impacted, it'll keep you up at night. The taxes are outrageous and if you can afford it, count your blessings or whatever that saying implies.

This gets to probably the biggest reason why we have such a hard time recruiting skilled health care workers to the state. The stock of decent housing to attract professionals just isn't here. Much of it was picked up by telecommuters during the pandemic. So now, you're left with either something unaffordable, or a very cheap house that needs tons of renovations. There's not a whole lot in between.
