#5... True, but the wages here are equivalent to Mississippi with a California cost of living. Those west coast cities are a lot more affordable. And there are presumably people there who aren't old, rich and white, which you will not find in VT.

Income averages in VT on the whole are about 10% above the national average and presumably well above the Mississippi state average. I'm not saying that things aren't tight or can't be, nor am I suggesting that the state is free from gentrification pressures, but relative to the PNW these problems appear to be smaller. This could be because of VT's rural character. And yes there are old, rich, white assholes everywhere.
