My husband, youngest kid and myself lived in Rutland for 3 years, that was too long (2017-2020). We were lucky to take over the oldest kid's lease. Then, a year later it sold. We were lucky again to find another rental on the better side of town and more expensive. I paid them what I am currently paying for a house I purchased in NW Arkansas. It got to where businesses were closing and even trying to find decent paying work was a challenge. We finally decided to go back where life was more accommodating and cheaper cost of living. And, we have improved by leaps and bounds.

Best of luck and I pray you find the place you need to be.

Why do you dedicate your reddit account to shitting on Vermont? Why not, instead, contribute positively to r/Arkansas, since you love it there so much?

So others won't be deceived like I was. There's 2 sides to a pancake; evidently the truth offends certain people. I am not "shitting on Vermont". I am just sharing the experience I had attempting to live there.

Imagine you hated, say, I don't know, say.... golf. It could be anything, but let's say, golf.

Someone told you it was a great pastime, way to get exercise, get out into nature, and a fun sport. Told you how much you'd love it. Convinced you to buy a set of expensive golf clubs, get a membership to an expensive fancy golf club.

But then you tried it, and you hated it. You it found boring, overpriced, stupid. The people there, you find pompous, vapid and aristocratic. So now, you're pissed; you spent all that money and time getting involved in something you realize you hate. So, do you move on with your life and focus on things you do enjoy? Do you let the people who enjoy golf alone, to enjoy what they like? No. Not you.

Instead, you start a reddit account, and troll r/golf. You use your account for the primary purpose to find any opportunity to tell to the people there -- people who congregate there to talk about golf, because you know, they are into golf, and they like it -- how stupid their pastime is. How terrible golf is. When you get called out on your negativity, you dishonestly say "I'm just sharing my experience. Some people are just offended by the truth."

It's called shitting on something. It's not altruistic. You're not helping anyone avoid deception. It's toxic, bitter and negative. You've been obsessed with Vermont for almost year. I hope you get over it, and find a more productive hobby, for your own sake.
