Reply to comment by appa-ate-momo in Senate panel advances major housing bill, overhauling municipal zoning and Act 250 by DaddyBobMN

> We need to stop living in the days gone by where Vermont can be majority single-family homes and wide open spaces

I agree about the single-family homes, but we absolutely must keep the wide-open spaces.

but I hate hearing my neighbors. I like wood working, running CNC machines, and playing my guitar loud. Can't do that in a giant people box.

Complaints get expensive and end up pissing off land lords. Ain't no way I can risk that in this housing shortage.

I completely agree. I suppose we should be able to make the dense places denser (if people living there want that) without requiring density, or even worse, making wide-open spaces into people boxes.

There is more than enough land already locked up forever in trusts and preservation deals,lol. Every town could easily add another 5% in new housing and it would hardly change the landscape. Dont worry it will still look pretty for the damn tourists.
