Probably….everyone pack up and move to California!!

This state desperately needs reasonably priced housing for first time homebuyers to sustain population growth and to sustain the workforce. Why people don’t understand this is beyond me. When business owners can’t staff businesses due to lack of staff or have to continue to limit their hours due to lack of staff -because workers can’t live in the area due to lack of housing or can’t afford to commute to their job from where they were able to find housing-maybe it will finally click there’s a problem!

That's what we do on our way to Michigan

It’s crazy a few years ago we got a health tested pup for $1,500. She’s beautiful and wonderful and retrieves birds like crazy. I’m scared I will never find another dog like her!

Thank you!!

Just hold your breath til it passes

We were shopping heavily about two years ago and it was discouraging. We were most concerned about hereditary health issues after our Doberman dropped dead in front of us. We were looking at $5000, apply and maybe you’ll qualify and then you’ll only have to pay for it’s airline ticket from someplace else. My husband finally saw an ad in the paper, handed over $1000 and brought home a cute yellow. She’s pretty and she’s sweet but we’ll probably end up springing for knee surgery. Hope you have better luck.

Dogs from shelters or local vets are much cheaper ☺️

Killingworth. Rumford Point.

Just leave out the cinnamon.

Not sure, but I hope it comes with some skyline chili.

Lol, we all know Ohio isn’t a real place.

The *empty retail stores

Fixed that for you

There's more profit catering to luxury than to economy.

You do realize the State Police aren't going to show up and make you move into the apartment building. If you don't want to live there, then don't live there.

Did they raise this objection when LLBean built a parking garage?

Ohio Death Cloud?

One of my fave metal bands. They haven't toured in a few years. I'm stoked!!!

They say Alfred Maine himself used to get McNuggets from that location every day.

So a home owner that wants his speculative investment to have a valuation boost due to artificial scarcity. Got it.

Fuck them. The entire coast of this state is in a housing crisis, resulting in absurd rents. It’s not even like that will really be affordable housing but its still needed. Whether people like it or not the current housing situation in Maine cannot contain the population.

Almost don't want to visit my hometown now. I think they look good, and compared to parking lots..!!! When I lived in So Freeport, we never went "uptown" unless it was absolutely necessary. Glad to see 50 years have changed to feelings. Not!

Only if you set up mail forwarding with the post office. Otherwise you can contact the state to change the address. There's a link floating around in some other comments that should tell you how to go about that.

The thing that I think many people on this sub don't understand is that Maine culture is rooted in a tradition of never changing ANYTHING! It is one of the things that has kept Maine underdeveloped and therefore a desirable place to live. Maine has always welcomed visitors but has always at the community level discouraged "transplants" or "people from away". It's not as much NIMBY, as "it's always been that way and it should not change". People want to come to Maine because of the way it is. Rural, quiet, and backwards in many ways. Maine has had this pervasive attitude as long as I can remember. Most Mainers resist change.

Freeport is another one of those towns filled with middle aged wealthy people that like to look like they give a shit about “muh equality” by posting self righteous bullshit on social media but in actuality they don’t want anyone that might be perceived as a lesser class living anywhere near their town.

Doesn’t this state desperately need housing?
