You have yet to establish that workers can't afford housing within a reasonable commuting distance of Killington. Last time I checked, the place was fully staffed and still operating.

"find somewhere else to live" ok where? where in the US is there affordable housing? every single f*** state is going through this crisis but yes keep gaslighting us. i forgot, vermont is a state thats only for wealthy vacationers, everyone else should f*** off and be grateful for the wealthy letting their money trickle down to us entitled poors who live in a wealthy vacationer state

Your problem is the same problem we all have. Lack of affordable housing is not unique to Killington or Vermont. You're conflating issues and blaming wealthy vacationers for a problem they didn't create and are not responsible for. Those same wealthy vacationers basically make your current life possible, so you should probably consider that when formulating your opinions.

Bless her heart. The poor thing is worrying about a 20-minute commute from a town with everything you need.
Meanwhile, Killington has no grocery store, CVS, or Walgreens. There is no High School, no post office, no hospital, and no movie theatre....it does have a few high-priced markets with limited selections consistent with a tourist destination.

And a liquor store, a grocery store, and several, um, meat markets.
