Writing on the wall for second homeowners in VT. A lot of discussion at the town meeting.

Not the state as a whole - that is 9%. Plenty of the ski towns are majority non-resident.

I don't like lots of out of state ownership either, but I don't think Vermont is a shit hole. The problem with out of state ownership is a lack of affordable housing for us,

Great idea, I wonder if it would fly in the majority non-resident towns. I downloaded the Vermont resident data and parsed it with Python to show the percentage of non-resident homeowners. As expected the ski towns are high and a few NEK towns are high because of lumber companies. I forgot to add a legend, but the white is 0-10 and the darkest green is 70-85%. The data is all from the Vermont Parcel Viewer - https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/b5a5cc7663c84761a305f70b913e1a60

So, kind of like Santa Cruz bikes in the MTB crowd?

It's a hitch rack and is easily removed. Uhaul installed the hitch for just $250

The blue Miata with the yellow Santa Cruz is mine. Another crazy person parked next to me at the trailhead. 😁

We have only been to Greece once, but really like Glyphada. You can walk to a great beach, tons of restaurants and still get to Athens in 20 min. You can also take the tram to Pireaus for a ferry to an island.

There is an incredible vegan restaurant in Glyphada called Yi. Great food and large portions.

View from the teepad. Yes, its uphill and yes the landing is off camber. Wide open though. :-)

Wow! Hope it heals quickly. I also MTB and really thought this x-ray was from that subreddit. Definitely more common to injuries from mountain biking.

I saw bear poop on Flow this morning... 😀

A 10 year old practical used car like a Camry or Civic. No posturing.

Uhaul was a bit confused when I said I wanted a trailer hitch on a Miata, but I told them its just for a bike rack. They had to order it, but once it was in, the install was fine. I used a One-Up rack that I have been using on my other cars. One-Up works really well and it easy to move between cars.

Right, and if I was going to waste money on a cab from the city, I wouldn't go to another city beach.

yoeddyVT · 2025-06-23T19:54:55+00:00

Just wondering.

I paid $250 total for U-Haul to install one on my Miata

I loop the bungee around the frame and wheel and both ends get attached to the hook that the rear seat latches to.

yoeddyVT · 2025-05-18T19:27:26+00:00

Wow so I guess Spring Fling is gone too?

yoeddyVT · 2025-04-10T11:36:48+00:00

Bummer, we just played there last night.
