I think this is the core of the argument. Rich people will have no problem getting homes built wherever they want… the only question is whether Vermonters are willing to build affordable housing for the rest of us.

The answer, unfortunately, is no.

I guess I’m just more optimistic on this point, although I respect your right to disagree. I don’t see this as being set in stone. Housing is a human right that’s worth fighting for, even if the odds are long.

I don't disagree, but moving to a place that wants people other than old rich people to live there makes a lot more sense than trying to find a place here. Finding a job in another state is easier than finding quality housing in VT.
