They treat our state like a theme park. Extremely disrespectful

I just moved from Jeffersonville to Fryburg...pretty close. We just have 1000x more massholes on Harleys leaf peeping. The noise is unreal. I miss VT.

Yep. Then they go all in on a site unseen property when shit hits the fan in their state.

OMG the buying real estate site unseen was a thing over here in Maine for a while during the pandemic. It’s pretty entertaining to watch the questions and concerns people have once they land here having apparently done no research whatsoever. It has blown my mind that seemingly intelligent, wealthy people thought they could just pull up stakes and move here knowing nothing about the culture and most importantly, the weather.

Same haha. If I had a dollar for every person this week wondering where they can get a couple of cords of firewood at this late date 😆

I’ve been wondering what‘s going to happen with these buyers when the real VT winter hits. Spring, beautiful. Summer? Gorgeous. Fall, omg. But it’s one thing to spend a week at a ski lodge and quite another to endure endless months of digging your car out in the dark in -10 degrees only to find the gas froze in your tank when you try to head out to work. Months and months and months of bitter cold and no sunlight.
I‘m not trying to be snarky here. The Russian writer Aleksandr Solzhenitsy settled in Vermont when he fled for his life, because the hard winters here fondly reminded him of RUSSIA. It’s a test of endurance and I’m skeptical that all the new buyers fully understood what they were buying into.

That’s because it literally is a theme park. The development regulations are literally to keep it like this on purpose. This is working as designed!
