Totally get it, but on the Long Island sub for instance if someone asked for help like this you'd get one jerk response and mostly helpful. Seems the opposite here.

Also seems like anytime I've asked about places to bring my family on vacation in Vermont or made the mistake of asking about a place to move there I got all nasty responses. Just reeks of xenophobia and small mindedness and to be honest it's disappointing because I always saw Vermont as the friendlier and more open minded version of New Hampshire. Instead you guys come off like a bunch of angry southern rednecks who think you are your own country.

Also the xenophobia is a little warranted. Vermont is becoming a place everyone wants to move to with not many houses. Creating bidding wars on homes paying 200-300k over appraisal value. Forces reappraisals and eventually raises everyone’s property taxes. It’s kind of just how the world works these days but as a townie Vermonter you can kind of understand where they’re coming from.
