gonna do the same. that's awesome

We are equally trod on.

And full of poison element traces.

It's not that low-income people CAN'T, it's that a nice looking and brand new apartment complex is likely not going to be priced at such a point that lower income people or families can live there at all

Should be a different world, but generally seems to be the way it turns out

I'd love to move to freeport if housing became more affordable there. WTF is wrong with people?!

We also have poor white people

Freeport lost that "Historic" feel ages ago when mom and pop stores were all forced out by larger chains. Seriously though, Maine needs housing for workers; period. You can't service all these rich out-of staters and retired folk if the people you need to service them can't afford to live there. That or pay your workers more; pick your poison because it will end up being one or the other as Maine's population becomes older and older.

Oh noes, if they build this people under the age of 50 might be able to live there. How horrid!

Why on earth would other people support your NIMBYism? It's not their backyards.

This reminds me of the Cape Elizabeth debacle over the affordable housing units in the in town area.

How does anyone feel that they’re getting the real Maine charm and experience in a tourist trap town? I always hated going to freeport.

I don’t think that’s what they’re saying. If the developers are aiming to attract a higher end clientele, then they’ll make them more ‘spiffy’ (interior materials, etc). You can build apartments that are very nice without the high end mark-up materials.

Nah, keep the Lindt store, too. Those chocolates are expensive, but they're also delicious and about as addictive as crack!

Actually I work with mostly gen xers and most of them are significantly better than most of the boomers I've ever met or worked with.

Then turn into r/leopardsatemyface when revenue isn’t going up

I can’t believe this is even a thought!!!

Yet another example of why Maine has a shortage of affordable housing.

Low income people can't live in nice looking places?

I think you will find that those speaking out against the project are in the minority….. speaking as a Freeport resident

Having that density means more foot traffic for all the stores downtown. Local businesses should want this.

Cry some more will you?

“Sup guy” is more accurate

Nothing can change here after I become a local! s/

At this rate they're going to turn me into some Boogaloo type just we can put them up against a wall when the revolution comes.

That apartment complex looks very high end. We need Governor Mills to build a low income housing project in every town including Freeport.
