Generally speaking, my friends and I, who've all grown up in Chicago suburbs (myself and most by birth, the others being transplants) agree with you.

It would be very comfortable there, despite my misgivings of moving to a state almost entirely populated by people of European descent.

I've been there a few times. Played a show in Burlington. Lovely area. Lovely people. A few more brown folks here and there wouldn't hurt.

Be the change you want to see in the world.

We're the thinking of Vermont as a possible destination once my wife is eligible for her full retirement pension, and we can get out of this christo-conservative, handmaid's-tale-wannabe, craphole of a state (Texas).

We're not 'brown' but it would still be nice if Vermont had some more diversity by the time we get there.
