Reply to comment by EscapedAlcatraz in How Vermont’s Housing Crisis Got So Bad by punkthesystem

After a lifetime of seeing Act 250's implementation, I whole-heartedly disagree with you. There are PLENTY of areas where housing could be developed that would be beneficial. Like anything else, with proper planning and implementation, you can easily preserve aesthetic and environmental protection. Making a blanket-statement that adding housing "would ruin this place" is disingenuous and uninformed.

That's why I labeled this as "opinion". Having lived and worked in dozens of out of state areas, and traveled to hundreds of others, I'd call it an informed opinion. There are plenty of crowded, noisy, dirty communities in the U.S. One Vermont.
