Reply to What will the future of Vermont ski towns look like? by The_Idealist_Realist

It really depends on if the new housing ends up helping locals and transplants. If it mostly ends up benefiting wealthy vacationers and investors, we will end up with areas like Gatlinburg, TN and Severville, TN. Over the top tourist traps with poor surrounding communities respectively. If locals and transplants get priority in new housing, there will be some urban sprawl around bigger towns like Burlington, Montpelier, and Middlebury. Those communities could end up being pretty strong. Doubt the more rural parts of the state would change much. Same goes for the ski resorts. The Stowe area in general might explode.

Are you playing the Goebbels game? Accuse others of what you are doing? Or did you just get caught in your own bluster along the way? My argument, based on admittedly anecdotal data, was that that people are moving here because of climate change in the SW. It's simple. Never changed. You on the other hand have made zero solid arguments. You have made blank statements that are canned, overly simple talking points like the SW can fix their wild weather with more logging (i.e. rake the forests) and less farming. No elaboration on your part. Projecting false confidence via smugness and belligerence does not bolster your statements.

Stay away from the Bolton Potholes and Huntington Ravine with a baby. If you are in the north part of the state, check out Sandbar Beach, the Brewster River in Jeffersonville, and Little River State Park. Maple Street Park in Essex Junction had an amazing playscape and water park.
