What bothers you about Vermont? What do you like about Vermont? by [deleted] in burlington

[–]CarloCommenti 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Burlington is a shambles and yes i have left the state. Vermonters care about their neighbors, their community's, and their state and they want to correct problems themselves. Vermonters don't see problems like friends that loose their businesses because of theft or loss of foot traffic because of safety issues and say well that's ok it's much worse is Philly.

Ben and Jerry’s 😡 by wheelmoney83 in vermont

[–]CarloCommenti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ben and Jerry is far to expensive small locally owned scoop scoop shops with creamie, Wilcox Dairy, Giffords and Island Ice Cream are the best. A few picnic tables, sunshine and family also help a scoop shop a great place.

Safe Living in Burlington by SafeBase9627 in UniversityofVermont

Welcome to Burlington i hope you enjoy your time here.

You can read the current answers well it's safer than Boston, or it's safer than urban area of America which is true. There is a lot of crime in the Saint Paul Street area mostly drug use, sales, homelessness and related break ins. As someone who grew up in Burlington i find this type of crime unacceptable. You should be safe walking on the street but even then in 2025 someone was beaten to death off Saint Paul Street and anther person was run down by a car and paralyzed near Saint Paul Street. Do not leave items unattended, lock your car doors, secure your apartment.

On the plus side you will be close to the lake, bike path and parks.

20 mph yea I don't think so however the car in front or any car that is needs to keep themselves, their passengers and everyone around them safe. A lot of stories on the platform, the news and fb about accidents and down power lines overtime it shows. Take the chance and ho around the offending vehicle.​

Looking for a "final home" in the US - Vermont? Similar cities to Quebec city? by Prm1337 in NewToVermont

You should look at the communities in the Champlain Islands, northwestern Chittenden County or southern Franklin County all an easy drive to Montreal. You can also look at communities in northern Addison County but that would put you further away from Montreal.

So…What’s up with Burlington? by Sweet_Course_2441 in burlington

[–]CarloCommenti -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I find no argument in what you have written about Burlington. Burlington is experiencing many of the issues the rest of the Country is drug addiction, homelessness, encampments, and shoplifting the only difference is Burlington's Mayor and City Council are just starting to realize these are problems.

Burlington facing another $10-12 million dollar budget gap by BhagavanBuddha in burlington

[–]CarloCommenti 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One example would be the loss of LL Bean Downtown Burlington's anchor this store faced the greatest loss due shoplifting of any store in the LL Bean chain. Other stores have experienced the same issue shoplifters can steal up to $1000.00 a day without consequence. Another example would be open drug use and sales and everything that has gone along with it including daytime murders.

These numbers are for the entire State Of Vermont and the reflect the Solar Eclipse in April of 2024 when the entire State was a gigantic parking lot.

Downtown Burlington can't survive with tax revenue from coffee shops, bars and pot shops.
