The first image is in Montreal, the second is in Rockingham according to Google image search.
Burlington is listed as one of the top livable cities and I think Bernie was a good mayor. He kept green spaces and public spaces and fought the corporate interests from ruining the waterfront.
As mayor, Sanders led extensive downtown revitalization projects. One of his signature achievements was the improvement of Burlington’s Lake Champlain waterfront.[12] In 1981, Sanders campaigned against the unpopular plans by Burlington developer Tony Pomerleau to convert the then-industrial[65] waterfront property owned by the Central Vermont Railway into expensive condominiums, hotels, and offices.[66] Sanders ran under the slogan “Burlington is not for sale” and successfully supported a plan that redeveloped the waterfront area into a mixed-use district featuring housing, parks, and public space.[66] Today, the waterfront area includes many parks and miles of public beach and bike paths, a boathouse, and a science center.[66]
Doesn’t excuse that absurd Bernie tweet about Clinton being responsible for Detroit but this is not a good response.
