Reply to comment by tensleepmcgee in What will the future of Vermont ski towns look like? by The_Idealist_Realist

Dude...

If my brain was a dartboard. Bullseye. But I had this realization back in 2016 while Vermont was still net a population loss. The secret was out after the pandemic. My wife and I finally made it work though. And yes, things are expensive, but they're that way everywhere. Housing is expensive everywhere. The problem is Vermonts inventory is just so so low. It's tough for people to get here. That's not necessarily a bad thing.

It's tough for working people to get here. Rich people seem to have no problem at all. VT is becoming very exclusive. I'm sure some old people see that as a good thing, for me it's a reason to leave.

I think Vermont has always been pretty exclusive...like since it's inception. It fell between the British colonies and the French water routes and so it never got attention until Benning Wentworth started the New Hampshire grants, even then it was disputed territory. Seems the history is alive and well in some form or fashion.
