Motives for relocating to Vermont.

Vermont is a northeastern state in the New England region of the United States. It’s landlocked by New York to the west, Maine to the east, Massachusetts to the south and Canada to the north. Vermont is the second least populated US state, its capital is Montpelier the least populous state capital in the United States. Vermont economic activity goes over 35 billion dollars, the money comes from agricultural produce and industries. It has a population just over six hundred thousand and it ranks second in the least population category. 

The Abenaki native americans were the first ones there, but today the state is overwhelmingly white with a mixture of european heritage. The population is about 95 percent white, it is the whitest state in the USA, Main being second. They have Irish, English, Welsh, Scottish, French, German, Italian, Polish and Swedish ancestry. It has a European feel to it, there is perfect understanding in the state, people don’t have to worry about other people’s culture as it’s merged into the same culture. People in Vermont do get a good handout from the government, as there aren’t many jobs, however people help each other out, people have a strong family bond. Nobody will ask you what church you belong to, you’re not getting any such questions and you will never get interrogated, you will be free from all that religious thing, that’s a good thing. Beware never go toe-to-toe with a resident in Vermont, because they will crack your glass jaw into pieces, these people are tough and have strong bones. In 2020 two-thirds of all milk in New England was produced by Vermont dairies, Ben and jerry’s started business in Vermont, a favorite for many americans, even in the UK it is loved by many British people.

Vermont has great forests, it has some of the best growing forests in the country. The lumber industry used to be big in Vermont, it was big business in the 90s but not anymore. Trees are not worth as much and therefore the forest has grown back. Vermont’s forests are growing twice as fast as they are being cut. It is a clean state, you’ll be glad to know you don’t have to worry about rotten food and people doing number one and number two on the streets. If you ever been to downtown Chicago, you will instantly smell the intoxicating smell of urine when you walk around the streets, if you can walk there as these places are often not that safe. The mountain range in Vermont runs primarily south to north and extends approximately 250 miles from the border with Massachusetts, to the border with Quebec, Canada. The state’s name comes from two French words vert (green) and mont (mountain), which explains Vermont’s nickname, the “Green Mountain State.” 

Different seasons offer different things to do, for example in the winter you will get the privilege to do snow sports and you will get the opportunity to meet people and make some money out of tourism activities. It is a small population, most states in America have some diversity, however in most places white Americans are not happy about their homes being invaded. The people of Vermont also have that worry, however they don’t have to worry as much, because Vermont is not doing so well economically, so that means there are not many jobs. The population will remain stable until something major happens in the state.The blue collar and middle class workers who earn less than 75.000 are the ones who are leaving, however welfare people are coming in from other states. Vermont probably will soon be a state for only rich people. Taxes could be too high for the middle class, but you can build your own house without having to worry about regulations, the population is not going up and its actually decreasing. 

Vermont has small towns and you will only see a few people, you have like eight months of winter where you won’t see any people. It’s like living in a ghost town, but it’s kind of nice having not many people around. If you miss living in a big city or the vibe and being with lots of people, then Boston is around the corner and it only takes a few hours. At the other end you can visit Montreal. Finally, Vermont is very liberal and open to new ideas that are being adopted around the world, they care about the social aspects of people’s lives. In 2018 Vermont became the first state to legalize cannabis for recreational use by legislative action and the ninth state to legalize marijuana for medical purposes. In 2009 Vermont became the first state to legalize same gender marriage.
