Oh Heaven forbid the train noise… I think any reasonable person would realize it’s worth it for the extreme economic gain of easy transport.

Don't underestimate the NIMBY ability of Vermonters. If the noise argument doesn't work, they'll find some endangered Aphid, or a wetland that nobody previously cared about, to use as leverage to prevent this kind of development.

I’d take train noise over F35s myself.
