As a friend from east Texas told me: "Southerns like blacks as people, but not as a race. Northerners like blacks as a race, but not as people."
I always wanted to put
bush/Cheney stickers over those stickers and wait in the bushes with a camcorder to record the response and put it on Americas Funniest Videos.
"There is also a serious housing shortage"
I don't see how they could possibly explain that in a reasonable manner, if they are losing people, especially since we are coming off the greatest housing construction boom in history.
Sounds like Great Barrington, MA. The do love their NPR, though.
You can buy a Victorian house for $100,000, yet they have a serious housing shortage? Doesn't seem to add up.
It's still nice not to have an income or sales tax.........
It's NOT nice to have a $100.000 view tax put on you like I just did, here in good old N.H.!
Yes! Three! The size of the EC vote for a state is determined by adding the number of senators and congressman representing the state in Washington. Every state has two senators regardless of population. Additionally all states have at least one member of the House regardless of whether they have enough population for a house district.
My GF parent's have a summer house in the Berkshires. Its literally amazing, the amount of rich liberals over there.
I feel bad for the locals who seem to be getting pushed out.
Isn't that double taxation? After all, don't pieces of realestate with a great view tend to have higher market prices? Property taxes are based on the market value of the property; therefore, you are being taxed doubly for your view.

Clarification:
That's on the assessed value.
This is nothing new. Vermont's major export has always been people. It's a tough place to get started in. Vermonters were prominent in the settlement of the "Northwest Territory" (Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, etc.) in the early 19th Century for that reason.

You and me both!
I have 21 acres in Whiting - pop. 400 - get up there as often as I can. Can't move there permanently cause there aren't any jobs.
It truly is God's country.
It's also where old hippies go to die!!
Couldn't find a meal until I got to Burlington.
Next time you visit Vermont, if your route takes you through Colchester, Junior's has good Italian food. If you're in Middlebury and want to go to an upscale restaurant, I recommend the Dog Team Tavern. Across from Frog Hollow in downtown Middlebury is another good eating place, Mr. Up's.
The Census Bureau lists selected stats at its site. This includes estimates for 2004. Interestingly it allows you to filter and rank the states according to household size, but not family size. Household, of course, includes gay and lesbian partnerships, childless live-together heterosexual partnerships, and single apartments stuffed with large numbers mixed-family immigrants.
Acording to household size, several blue states are more than holding their own.
Ah, thanks for refreshing my memory.
3 big ones for the dems. 8^)
Would that not be the funniest thing?
The only reason I never did it was because I thought it was waste of a good sticker, but then again, knowing I made liberal mad for like two years would be worth it.
Due to a combination of self inflected and foreign directed injuries it is all gone, like much of America's industrial base.
