I live in Winooski, VT, the city in which the dome was presented. It never held water. It was entertained briefly but shut down quickly. Interestingly enough, the story made news world-wide, and I've heard of history books in other countries mentioning it as something that actually happened.

Am I the only person here who is absolutely opposed to people owning second homes?
That's property someone devoted to the region could live in. I live in New England, Vermont specifically, and my area is filled with houses empty for 8 months out of the year. It's DISGUSTING. People love the area from May to August, but leave the second the temperature drops. Quit driving up my god damned property taxes, they're high enough as it is.

Does one person really need to own two homes, when he can only reside in one at a time? There are so many people struggling to find a home at all.
