Well…I don’t know, a lot of things I wish would change here are pipe dreams. I don’t know why the downvote. OP asked what we’d like the new towns to look like so…I answered.

i love these people that just rather bitch about where they live than move 😂 we live in a tiny, mountainous state, theres not a lot thats going to make it more “walkable” other than the towns that already are.

is VT supposed to just start adding sidewalks along miles of rural routes? lol

“they can decide it for themselves”

seems like they have a hard time deciding anything on their own tho 😂 some people just prefer to be miserable-ists. they get off on complaining about things instead of just taking matters into their own hands and finding a solution

i actually started a kickstarter, gained $200K, then forced my town of 236 people to put in sidewalks along dirt roads and rural routes! now that my kids can walk, they LOVE the 12 mile walk to and from school each day! and on a warm sunny weekend afternoon, the 9 mile walk to the grocery store has never been easier!

The way this guy talks to people in his other comments I read… he seems to like to think everyone else is an idiot and that he knows best because he is a professional. I don’t think anyone can convince him to think imaginatively when it comes to others, or jump into someone else’s shoes to consider things from others’ perspective. What kind of planning can you even do around here?!? He won’t even tell us!!!

Instead of teaching people about what he knows in a kind way, he just sounds angry. I hope he’s ok…but I think it’s pointless for anyone to keep talking to him.

Is having local businesses right by where people live not a good enough proposition. Who ever said i meant Vermont as a whole?! There are a lot of things I’d like to see change that i know won’t be feasible. You still aren’t trying to teach me. You’ve already written me off as an idiot so why should I even try? I was only talking about the ski town, what they could build…no one said anything about ripping down Vermont. Seriously read my comment again. The post is about developing the ski town, OP asked what we’d like to see IN THE FUTURE SKI TOWNS. I WAS ONLY TALKING ABOUT THE SKI TOWN.

In animation we call what I was doing spitballing. People very rarely make entire animated films from one spitball conversation.
