Reply to comment by appa-ate-momo in Senate panel advances major housing bill, overhauling municipal zoning and Act 250 by DaddyBobMN

Actually our population is declining… and single family homes are still necessary and important, not everyone wants to live in a City. Government regulations made developing a property a 6 figure gamble on whether you may or may not get permits… that means developers need to make up that money. If the state got out of the way, developers could afford to build houses that coulld be sold cheaper since they didn’t need to cough up a million dollars just to get permits.

Vermont's population increased between the 2010 and 2020 censuses and is estimated to be continuing to increase YoY since then.

Due to the influx of covid transplants… give it time and it will go back down again. From 20011 to 2019 it was all decline…

Yeah, I don't think they're leaving. Like, ever. They found out about what it's like not living in a city, and they don't seem to want to go back.

That’s pretty much why I’m here. Used to live out west. Trying to beat the crowds.

The census finished right as COVID started to take off.

Your opening statement is easily refuted with a simple google search. Population leveled off between 2000 and 2020 but still increased by around 15,000 residents.

The state says it declined from 2011 -2019 and then bounced up… because covid. Sometimes two data points don’t really tell the whole story.
