Reply to comment by DaddyBobMN in Addison County Community Trust raise rent yearly with ZERO improvements! by nolyfe27
You understand that we're not paying rent in the classical sense where you have a landlord that takes care of your dwelling. We're paying lot rent which we put a trailer on while we own the dwelling we don't own the land.
The point of this community trust is to make sure that we have utilities like water, paved roads, trash removal, and plowing.
We never have our roads plowed in time for us to get to work. So historically I've had to be late for work because my car can't even leave the park because of how bad the roads are not just because of the snow but because of the condition of them.
I've had to replace a rim from damage done by the potholes here in the park.
There's a gal that's getting evicted because she is a victim of domestic violence.
We also have a playground that isn't much need of repairs and is absolutely a rust bucket.
We also have to deal with the fact that we can't take a shit without telling us that we're in the wrong on how we do it. Basically if we make any modifications to our porches they freak out.
There's also this project where they're supposed to be taking down these trees that have been fucked by the ash borer beetles that has not been addressed and was supposed to be taken care of during the summer.
My girlfriend was supposed to move in earlier this year with her kids but it took over 7 months for them to process her rental application. We've decided to look elsewhere.
I understand that You may think that we're getting it easy but a lot of us here are already still paying off our homes, paying these lot rents, and have to be responsible for the maintenance and repair of our dwelling.
The way that ACCT has managed this park has been absolutely atrocious. We can't even meet with them in person because their offices have been shuttered permanently because of COVID. Additionally our park manager has not been reachable for the last 5 months.

You need to understand your beef is with them, not other Vermonters who have seen higher spikes in their own housing costs and faced unprecedented housing shortages.
