I’ve yet to see it be reflected in any official reporting or in the sentiment of my own local community. Anecdotally everyone knows some young parents, but even in this framing it’s an outlier case.

And being a parent in it of itself isn’t a “solution” as much as it is a representation that people feel happy, are forming bonds with one another, are thinking about the future, have a positive outlook on life, and want to procreate.

Everyone in Vermont ages 20-35 could start trying to have children tomorrow and the spiritual, political, and economic issues in our community would remain until we replace those ideas with our new ones.
