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

> I do get that many people like them, not criticizing your taste. Dense housing is the only feasible option I see for the future.

I see your point and I respect it. However, I think that dense housing really only works in burlington - that's where the majority of folks are anywho.

> In Vermont I’m not even sure what counts as suburbs, though. What’s a suburb of middlebury (wheee the author lives)? Weybridge?

well - north ave in burlington would be a good example. unless there is some definition of suburbs my highschool education is failing me.

Density is relatively, most villages and towns in VT have some level of density. Density includes things like duplexes or triplexes, four or five unit apartments buildings. Also a lot of old apartment blocks in small towns are pretty easy to miss you can easily dismiss a three story apartment building in Putney VT or Wilmington with a large single family farm house at first glance. You have the general stores with a unit of housing on top all over the state, that's density. We need to open our minds that we need this type of density everywhere.
