If they were just going to come here to work their six-figure job remotely, definitely. We'll make an exception for a respiratory therapist, though. We need them.

The problem we are having is as more and more and more people move here, our demand for services goes up and up and up. Leading to a never ending capitalistic loop. We need to effectively cap our population before our needs overtake our capacity

Yeah, I don’t think people really grasp that loop. They act as if we just build more houses and roll out the welcome mat it’ll be magically filled only with the needed professions and our problems will be miraculously solved.

Where I’m at some are itching to put in a major new housing development they claim will somehow solve housing issues but seem to fail to grasp that the teachers and nurses and tradesmen who can’t afford the dilapidated old houses on the market will suddenly be able to afford the brand new construction. They also fail to grasp that they can’t stop those really contributing to our housing issues who will only buy up the new supply. They further fail to grasp that our schools are already full and short staffed, so where are the new staff coming from and who’s paying to build the new schools?

The “answers” are myopic and simplistic sUpPlY vs DEmAnD and tax base bullshit fed to them by the fat cat capitalist, investors, and developers who don’t give two shits about our community and won’t be around to help trying to solve the extra problems their “solution” created.

Slow and steady wins the race. No reason to jump on the short sighted fad train and rush into more headaches. I’ve NEVER seen more development of that type improve a community and I’ve never seen it play out as promised.

The type of people I see moving here is even more troubling. Vermont has always been open minded not because of wide spread liberalism but because of the equal distribution of very average people. We are now seeing a huge influx of the ultra left wing,Ukraine flag in twitter profile/ eco warrior moving in and bulldozing a mountain for their new yurt so they can complain about slavery being bad on their phones which were made using actual slavery. Or the trustafarians who come here to ‘homestead’
