You should all move to states that don’t completely depend on tourism..

We would like to not completely depend on tourismm but the airbnbs aren't helping. Like 90% of the software company I work for moved out of vt due to lack of housing. We are a remote shop now. That is like 100 people that could contribute to the economy gone. Airbnbs swallowing up our housing is not helping this.

The #2 and #3 largest employers in vermont are ski resorts. The state is fucked it’s never had any real economy and probably never will. I grew up in killington..there has always been a bunch of empty housing stock that local workers couldn’t afford..airbnb can be your whipping post but it’s not going to change the realities of vermont…
