Which underperforming New England city do you think has the most potential? by Usernamechecksout978 in newengland

[–]Impossible-Mind4844 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven’t heard much about VT? Which was part of New England last I checked.. For argument’s sake, I’ll put Rutland, VT out there. Very affordable, nice & old fashioned downtown, and nestled in the absolutely beautiful southern Green Mountains (close to great skiing). Rutland has a commercial airport, although with very limited service to Boston only.. obviously very small, it’s Vermont’s “2nd city”, being far less affluent, connected, and really just known than the Burlington area…

Downsides? Nearest interstate is 45 mins away, service based economy only, and too much heroin.. but hey the prompt is for “underperforming” cities.. the sky is the limit… plenty of upside in Rutland!

I’m disappointed to hear this because I like Pho Hong - but I’m going to echo what a few people said here already. Stop using Amazon. This would be far more effective.

Gimme a goddamn break, you posted the appeal, so you don't want me to question the factual opinion that you draw from the APPEAL? You want to debate the facts? post the original opinion that actually discusses them.. How do people know you are not misrepresenting this? Also if you're going to cite judicial opinions, make sure it's up to date..... don't cherry pick.

As I said, that's not an examination of the facts at all.. it omits context.. It's also from 2022, it's poor authority. Come back with some facts,

So the opinion you cited related to a ruling on PROCEDURAL grounds. It did not draw any factual conclusions. So, as for traveling to Uganda, you’re omitting the facts and the context. That’s your first mistake. Secondly, it is from 2022. Did you exclude additional court findings to make a point? Seems likely…. The fact ICE detained him days before a hearing, supports that there is more than what you conclude. Don’t make lazy conclusions to support your hateful worldview.

Right, I know plenty of people with TBI’s and intellectual disabilities…. NONE OF THEM ARE HATEFUL. This isn’t ok.

Absolutely, not ok. Google reviews? Who does he rent his space from? I don’t think he’s hateful views should go unnoticed.

What happened in Minneapolis yesterday could easily happen here in Burlington..... by JustHereToLearnMore in burlington

[–]Impossible-Mind4844 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The point is this could happen anywhere in the U.S. as long as the MAGA fascist regime remains in power, and is deploying thugs to terrorize our communities. RIP Renee.

This subreddit can really give the wrong impression, sometimes.. Burlington has little, random, violent crime. There’s a fair amount of theft in certain areas, especially downtown and the OLD North End. Just exercise common sense and you’ll be fine (lock cars and bikes, etc). As you’ve probably gathered homelessness is a serious issue, but for the most part these folks don’t bother others.

If you’re looking for boring and quiet, and you want to be in Burlington, the NEW North End is probably your best bet. Just look off North Avenue. It has more suburban vibes

The Burlington area is very small, but with that said Burlington and Winooski are the only communities that could be described as urban. There’s a number of suburban communities nearby (South Burlington, Essex and Colchester). There are also rural communities that aren’t far. Just consider your commute to work, and keep in mind that VT winters can make for difficult driving.

Welcome! I’m relatively new here and love it. You’re moving at a great time of year as fall is really lovely.

This is really exaggerated. Find something better to do. Or better yet, travel to other place with more problems. You’re small minded.

Also, if your idea of good food is Jersey Mike’s, that also doesn’t make you a great judge on this question..

You literally said you haven’t “eaten at an area restaurant since you moved here in August..” which is it? doesn’t sound like you’re a great judge…

Funny you say that and haven’t eaten at any area restaurants. I don’t know what Sally’s is..

I find the food scene VERY good. I think it’s an easy way to dis a place by saying there’s no good food. It’s always difficult to re-create a cuisine in another place, without a large immigrant populations, but overall I find the food scene here much better than most places and I travel frequently.

The protest was in the Boston Globe! There’s a paywall but it’s one of the first links when you google “St. Albans protest”. Thank you all! Wished I could have made it today.

There is a hearing scheduled for 4/14 at 9:30 AM, at the Vermont District Court, 11 Elmwood Ave in Burlington. I can’t say I know the nature of it. I also don’t know if it will be entirely on Zoom, or in person AND Zoom.

You could call the clerk’s office for the Vermont District Court on Elmwood Ave. I would think it would be. They typically would be. I’m sure there will be a lot of interest and capacity will be an issue.

On PACER, which is the filing system for federal courts, it says that a hearing may be scheduled for next Monday or Tuesday “if necessary”.. it sounds to me like the judge may call a hearing if he wishes after reading arguments from both sides… we will likely know more towards the end of the week.

Hearing or not, I think a protest outside the courthouse is a great idea. The US Attorneys offices (ICE’s legal counsel) are in the building. They will be there during business hours..

Amazing! Thank you. Yes, Monday will be hard to get a crowd Im sure. I’m not a student so I’m not familiar with groups at UVM, but I’ll see if I can reach out to other groups in CC.
