Great article. Not only does it provide a good summary of how VT got here, it has some simple policy suggestions which I think could go a long way. Suggested policy actions that I agree are mostly pretty simple and would have a significant affect:

• Allow tax revenue from any new developments built in the next 5 years to go 100% to their towns, rather than a fraction of it be getting redistributed to the rest of the state
• Impose that towns which do not see a 3% increase in housing stock by a certain time period may get their zoning authority taken up by the state.
• Reform Act 250 so that it only applies to housing projects of 50 units or more (as opposed to the currently 10 units or more)
