Spent 3 years in Vermont....I learned it was NOT for me. Not enough diversity, too progressive liberal (Bernie Sander's back yard). Not enough shopping, you have to travel everywhere, winter is too long. Housing shortage, jobs are conflicting (unless you are college graduate and get lucky enough to score the 6 digit income to afford the cost of living).

But, the most evident thing about Vermont and it's people?Change for better is Not an option. Ignorance is not bliss, they have no clue what goes on outside of the state borders.

Guess what? Each state has their own sense of beauty.

Yup. If you love shopping, Vermont is not for you. Kind of obvious, no?

One of my favorite things about Vermont is actually that people who love shopping live elsewhere.

Another of my favorite things about Vermont is that people who don’t enjoy outdoor sport (and those who don’t recognize the beauty of the Norman Rockwell like way of life compared to subdivision/strip mall/billboard/traffic states) choose to live elsewhere.

Its hard not to be healthy and in shape here unless you live in one of the (what vermonters call) cities. Or have medical issues preventing it. I love how active everyone is, reminds me of Colorado.

The Vermont is so liberal myth always gets me. You'll see 5-10 of those reactionary 'Trump Rules' 'Let's go Brandon' and even the fucking "Hooray racism and slavery!" so-called confederate flag hanging from big trucks and on people's lawns for every half hour you drive around. At least that's true around Rutland.

Very true, and every person too. Were not heart set on it but it's definitely a contender for what we're looking for.
