ITA about how great Burlington and VT are. And boy, Vermonters are proud of their state. Just before we had kids, we looked seriously into moving there, housing was higher but so was pay for medical staff. Now I could never afford it, plus have two elderly folks to take care of. I'm glad we didn't do it in some ways (kids connection with grandparents) but I would be in a much different position had we done it. But I also became ill and needed help for almost 2 yrs and sometimes still do so this thread is nonsensical. It would, however, be the perfect place to live if I had a choice.
