The COVID diaspora from the cities and the housing bubble ruined that dream. Of course, I'm now living my dream in VT, and am thoroughly happy here, but I still can't get over how unreachable OG would be if I ever changed my mind about Vermont.

Look at this Zillow listing. $1.5M.... for a tiny plot of land!! No house!!

It also makes me believe that all the charm of OG will soon be gone because despite the fact that its a historic landmark town with rules, the character of the town will completely change.
what do you mean “the character of the town will completely change? “ Rich people like their architectural integrity so as you mentioned, I can’t see that changing. But I suppose it is annoying when people who run their lies by writing out a check take over a town. We saw we saw a neighborhood change to “checkbook rehabbers” and that had some consequences I didn’t especially like.
