Reply to comment by they_have_no_bullets in Vermont’s rates of homelessness are (almost) the worst in the country by DaddyBobMN

I think there's a specific reason VT is "the only state that's trying" related to the amount of funding per capita but I don't disagree.

The mountains, the cold , and low population density make it bad for business -- but popular with those that value natural beauty. The valuing of beauty is an empathetic trait. Thus our more liberal policies. Liberal policies create a snowball effect that bring in more liberally minded people like being the first state to recognize gay marriage. Trying to help the homeless is also a more liberal policy
