Property is cheaper over the bridge in NY. Plenty of people commute to Middlebury (and Vergennes and Burlington) from Port Henry/Crown Point/Ticonderoga.

Yes. We drive through those towns to visit family in NY and they are rural but much more affordable

It pains me to see people who's family's lived here for literally hundreds of years get priced out. Will Vermont have a "serf" class who can't afford to live here? Will they commute in from other states to work for the people who bought the neighborhoods they were born in? If our lords and ladies in Montpelier can offer money for tech workers to relocate here, why can't they first help the locals?
