UVMMC?

Lol oh yeah. It is not just VT.

None of that would surprise me at all.

Dang...

It seems like Vermont is really intent on being at the low end of "competitive for the region". Could fix a lot of the work shortages by changing that approach to be towards the higher end. Especially with nurses. Not sure why medical facilities fight raises for staff nurses so hard, but then turn around and pay travelers $4000-$5000 a week like it is nothing. I would imagine the same could be said for teachers. Want the best? Pay the best.

I'm not a teacher, but I am curious. How does teacher pay in Vermont compare to other states? I'm an engineer my wife is a nurse. Have noticed that a lot of local engineer and nursing salaries are very low.

That could be a new phrase. Keep saying it and see if it catches on.

Don't hurt yourself reaching

It won't get removed

It's not a "pure Vermonter" VS "Flatlander" situation. Most of our legislature is homegrown. Don't miss a chance to get a dig at transplants though right?

Gas station pizza is Vermont pizza to me. Every gas station sells some form of pizza here.

I overlooked the Killington part somehow. Yeah, that would be a bad drive.

Fellow ex-Michigander. Moved here two years ago. We settled on Essex Town because of the schools and proximity to everything. Vermont is very white, but not northern Michigan kind of white. Our little neighbor is a melting pot. I think it is because it is the "old IBM neighborhood ". Lots of biracial coupes, LGBT couples, and immigrants. I would check out the Essex area. I'm a white dude, so maybe I am missing something. Hope this helps!

Same thing is happening in Southern Michigan. When we sold our house in Michigan, we had 41 walkthroughs and 14 offers in 36 hours. Sold our house for $50,000 over $300,000 list. We paid $224,000 for the place in 2015 and did not do a ton to the place. It listed again last year for $405,000. Oh, and the ground water was polluted with PFAS.

Right? It has been an adventure!

Our townhouse is on the line between Essex and Jericho. Not all of the townhouses are actually in a town.

Check out townhouses! There are actually a ton of them in the area and a lot of people overlook them because they are filtering searches for single family homes.

Was in the same boat a year ago. We ended up paying too much for a POS townhouse. A year later, things are good. Might try looking for a POS that you can fix up. I think my family was in exactly the right place at the right time too.

It has been a really weak winter, but it seems like mother nature might be trying to catch up

I have a RWD truck. Never get stuck. Snow tires and a little weight in the back get the job done. FWD cars are like tractors in the snow with good tires. Will pull through quite a bit.

It's because much of VT is off the beaten path. Our food and stuff is all pretty much a special delivery.

I know there is more than one, but we got pretty far down the road with these folks. Seemed legit.
