Aside from a certain politician being from there. I might be moving to Vermont for a job soon. I hear kind of good things about it?

-It’s a bit more left than the vast majority of states

-very pretty outdoors

-very pretty towns

Cons-

-white as fuck and I’m a distinctly not white brown male (not saying this is a huge con, these type of areas can paradoxically be the least racist places, or better said have the most tolerable type of racism)

-expensive with low wages. Brutal combo wtf

-big one for me: hardly any people. I’m single, in my 30s, I need to get to fucking and developing my social life. I can’t spend my time surrounded by fucking bears dude. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love it, but if I know what’s good for me, I need to be surrounded by people in my prime years.

Honestly, I’m hesitantly excited; I’ve spent a lot of time in Texas, Michigan, Maryland. The brief time I spent in a New England college town as a visitor was nice; took an amtrak across this region and it was breathtakingly beautiful, everything from the architecture to the natural beauty.

Just need some advice and opinions about living in Vermont.

    Well, I'll be going there for a job so that won't be a huge concern. Concerned about the too slow part since I won't be too close to Burlington.
