You’re not the sharpest tool in the shed, are you? Snobby Hanover is gonna have way more local government and HOA nonsense than small town Vermont. Bored rich whites spread that bullshit like corona, wherever they go. HOAs were created when redlining was made illegal. Unless you’re building a brand new structure, you don’t even have to pull permits in Norwich. There’s no building codes. Hanover, on the other hand, appears just as bad as Boston.

State government is a different story.
