A number of towns in VT have PUD density bonus for reaching a better environmental practices, public good projects, and even for more open space.

Developers need a carrot and stick method to "encourage" them to build denser housing. Otherwise they will keep building homes out of the reach of most Vermonters.

Because density has its own cost. Particularly waste water and storm water management.

Outside of the bigger towns, most of vermont doesn’t have the infrastructure for density.
