Well actually I think I decided on the Adirondack mountains, as it's about the size of Vermont with bigger mountains and cheaper property taxes... So not gonna live in your pretty green hills, but at least I'm not someone who is "born and raised and never left the same state I live in now and somehow I think I'm special"!

I thought so too! Better backpacking + less snobs + cheaper land = better living! And you wonder why Vermont is paying good money for people to relocate to your state...

The politics of nys which is a fight between the state and nyc is really terrible and everyone ends up on the losing side. But if you can ignore that and have the money up there it isn’t that bad.

I have lived in NYS before, people complain about the issues with NYC versus the rest of NYS but I have found every state has that issue with their one major city versus the rest of the state. I found out west the politics were significantly more pronounced in that area versus the north east. Rural versus urban will always have money and politics issues. Vermont doesn't have it as significantly bc Burlington is small, but you still see the complaints and frustration from NEK and the east
