I only live about a block away from the site of this project, and I say bring it on. Maine needs more housing like this. Don't be a NIMBY.

Terrible, those boomers. They don't even have any kids. Or grandkids. Or nieces. Or nephews. Just money! Terrible!

Notice how the sprawl of SFH subdivisions that sell for more than $600K never ruins the historic charm of the town/region/state, just the apartment buildings that young people or those less affluent might want to live in do.

This isn't the first time Freeport residents have tried to block a housing development. The area is still growing quickly, but it's all $700,000+ houses like Renee Rd and Peter Robin Way. Pownal and Durham are lockstep in this too.

Yes. Former police chief and someone who has lived there for 40 years.

Have lived here for 6 years. Young people can’t afford houses here. Would love more affordable places to live.

People always complain about no affordable housing, it's because the boomers who already have houses always oppose things like this. And they're the ones who get to vote on it because they own property.

Some rando screaming about "court" doesn't mean you have to serve her papers.

So is everything else these days. If I didn't eat anything that ever came on the news because of some contamination or another, I'd die of starvation!

Might be that in the Springvale, Maine area in the '60's, 'fella' was slang for a gay man. I'm not sure how widespread it was used that way. As reported by a man who lived there.
