Reply to comment by SlytherinTargaryen in Thinking about moving to VT as I do my remote grad school. Also work remote. What’s a quiet area but not all the way podunck? by [deleted]
There was a suspected murder in the Danby/ Mt Tabor area a year or so ago. Gun shot victim left face down in a snow bank. Otherwise a very quiet area.
Cape Cod is considered quiet by a lot of people and has had a drug problem for years. Hyannis has a decent amount of violent crime.
It’s all concerning but if you are coming from a large city your definition of quiet is probably different than if you live in Andover.

VT native who has also lived in Manhattan. I’ve had two family members and some friends move out of Springfield, right around the time there was a third lockdown at the local grade school because an active shooter had walked across grounds. (Drug house next door.) I know city violence and I know small town violence, and Springfield has escalated far beyond small-town skirmishes. One of my friends literally had her small daughters in active shooter lockdowns twice in one school year.
