I think it's way too easy to be scared by the prospect of new housing units. As was explained really well in the article, it would take WAY more new housing units than is needed in order to reach just a fraction of the population density of overcrowdedness in areas like NJ or CA. It's a gross miscalculation in perception to think that a few thousand more units across the state will have any significant impact on the amount of nature to enjoy in VT.
