again hard to say, but to just let the regulators run rough over the folks who do want the town to grow is not working

I'm graduating college soon and will be living in the general community again. I think the only way to make changes happen is to create that change. If people understand what needs to happen and why, I believe they can change.

I am totally out of touch with our community since my community seems to think that it can keep electing the same tired politicians and that things will actually change. People dont vote and dont want to be involved. This needs to change.

We have many homeless families who need low-income housing.

Food, shelter,energy, healthcare. All very basic needs. How can we ensure that all of these needs are met at the local community level. My community is a place where people live, but don't work. There are few jobs here. With networked telecommunications, more people could live here and work from home.

People are leaving to expensive and liberal

Danville is a good place to raise children and those of us who are young at heart. Our existing challenges of not enough jobs, high petroleum and food costs as well as high housing costs will remain the same in the future. I have heard thta in 10 years only the very wealthy and the very poor will be able to afford Vermont.

I am moving from Middlebury to N. Ferrisburgh in a month, and I don't know yet about the isses facing my new town. But I do know it is a fine agricultural resource, and I expect it is facing (as most VT towns are) the pressures of sprawl. I look forward to learning more.
