That assumes all teachers live in your town. But that would be nice

OP already pointed out that “out of state WFH yuppies” are not the problem. They add to the price pressure a bit, but they also pay taxes and live in our communities. They actually live here too

Yeah, toilet and sink at my parents runs without power. Well does run dry every now and then…

I have no issues with helping other people, but making life harder on the people they represent in favor of people that have money is not a great government

Services for residents now racist

A battery in each house is probably cheaper, easier, more reliable and more climate friendly

Do they still have that program?

Also, both get sparser farther north, but VT gets bigger in the north while NH gets smaller

Probably should specify where unless you are willing to drive 3 hours

But if the town only has 40 kids at high school age, is that serving them well. One teacher for each subject, only online electives?

I think it’s better to have a maximum per student rate and then standards that receiving schools should be held to. This crap with MVC is ridiculous, but Burr and Burton has never had those issues.

Obviously Manchester made the choice to go that way, but look at a town like Ludlow or Grafton. If their local tax base does not support a full high school, they get grouped into another district, but there are 3 high schools close and depending on where in the town you live changes drive time significantly.

Certainly there is an argument for increased taxes in general, but especially in south central VT there isn’t the population density to support local schools.

In fact with the need for alternative schools in general, I think we should be supporting this, but again, with high standards.

Some towns don’t have a local public school

My son’s pediatric office just doesn’t have a full time secretary. Getting through is a luck thing

Probably not even all rooftops. Just focusing on the large flat commercial rooftops would be huge, and lower installation/maintenance costs

Snow doesn’t look deep so a tow truck with chains could probably do it. Or if the battery wasn’t dead, just chains on the vehicle

If time isn’t a major issue, I’d see if there is a career center in your area with a drafting program

The booming of ice flexing when it’s cold is so awesome

Their experience is probably not with the weather we have now with 50 degrees change from one week to the next with rain in between

Not to mention that it gets worse with each person who leaves. Each early retirement takes out years of experience that aren’t replaced.

CIA vs FBI

There’s no path tho.

Just have to afford housing in Manchester…

What if you live in Manchester?

Unfortunately for second homes it’s a race to the bottom. Want to buy a second house near Stowe or Killington? Tax rate would definitely be a consideration

The problem ultimately is that those with money BENEFIT from housing shortages driving up rent
