If possible you probably still want to hook the house to the power grid. I know people with pretty large solar arrays that still don't make enough to power their house in the winter.

Running a house entirely on a generator is just stupid and bad for the environment. Don't do this just because you want to live a specific lifestyle

Thats good that they are finally doing it.

It looks like its a 15 billion dollar undertaking though which is why it hasn't been considered for vt.

If forest fires become a consideration here we should probably look into it.

By that logic why doesn't California bury its transmission lines?

Its incredibly incredibly incredibly expensive and would be a massive undertaking.

Public land.

Town, state, city, and federal land is where most homless encampments tend to pop up.

$120 natural gas. I br apart probably like 700 square feet? Keep it at 68 degrees. Heated by 2 rinnai wall heaters

Yes. Significantly. It lead to me weatherizing my apartment.

Its a bit too far out to make a more accurate prediction.

Vett with drag slicks is the optimal winter car.

Make sure to buy up abot 2000 acres of forest land. Clear cut it and build 2 million dollar mansions on 7 acre lots. Vermonters will love that

Winooski parking garage

Check out r/icecoast for east cost specific skiing info

Yeah. Skiing is expensive af. Bolton is on the cheaper side but still unaffordable for most. We need more nonprofits like chochrans.

Good time to learn

I'd believe it. Most bartenders I know in chittenden were able to buy houses.

20 an hour is barely a living wage in vermont right now. Anyone making under 50k is struggling.

You are being downvoted but thats the truth

Unfortunately a lot of companies in Vermont are out of touch and pay way less than that. Because of our "low cost of living" its not low.

I would reccomend haggling pretty hard with employers on salary. And walk away from anyone that tries to justify low pay because of our cost of living.

Keep in mind workers are very much in demand in VT right now. And companies will pay higher if you give them a hard time.

But they are also from rhe south. Where housing is cheep

>I’m looking for kindness like helping each other, not “bless your heart” kind of southern BS.

Vermonters are very much like this. If you are foxing to move here you might want to get used to that.

>the areas, so you won’t be looked down on for “being from away, coming up to buy our limited houses that us locals can’t afford to buy anymore”

I mean. I know a few people from the paper towns and they feel exactly this way.

Yeah but vt is struggling bad. I have Many freinds rendered homless from people "escaping covid" or "dropping everything and moving to vt"

>art communities

Hoosic falls ny Hudson ny That one town near mass moca in the Berkshires

Vermont isnt really a Hotspot for it. Except for like the art district in burlington But a lot of those artists are just bored rich people

Vermont doesn't do the whole off roading thing as much. As out west

Id reccomend walking

Massive housing shortage rn.

Best we can do is a trailer on .5 acres for 600k

Someone saw a trespasser and then a plane flew overhead

Probably not. There were plenty of places blatantly breaking health code laws but the state recently cracked down really hard
