Well, interestingly, the shortage we really have is housing. And, that's true all over this rural state. We simply have laws that prevent the kind of building that you see in every other state, and that's why the state looks like the 19th century frozen in time (outside Burlington, anyway). Just in the area I live we are short 30,000 housing units, and that's been true for many, many years.

While I'd hate to see the state look like every other in the country, we are just going to have to allow more building. There's a bill that likely will pass this year that might help, and it's going to open things up in more developed areas. It's a delicate balance to preserve what's here and add a bunch more housing only in places that look like suburbs all around the US.
