It's not really "Act 250". It's that the public majority doesn't want anything built and Act 250 is the result of that. As is Current Use, which literally is a program to reduce development. Add on conservation easements and zoning and NIMBYism at the more local level. Vermont doesn't want development.

And then throw that in the pot with wastewater, building costs, labor shortages, and seasonal building schedules and here we are.
