Reply to comment by Runnah5555 in Maine residents - what do you find positive and negative about your state's low population density? by LockedOutOfElfland

Honestly a lot of Oxford County and thereabouts is developing that kind of disgusting suburban sprawl in the rural areas. All the state routes are filling up with eyesores.

We have less sprawl than the rest of the country, but not because we have learned from their mistakes. Much the reverse, we are trying hard to catch up to them.

There are some ugly spots but it is easy to get out into the countryside on smaller roads. I don’t think you’ll ever see real sprawl here.

Man, just look 30 minutes away in New Hampshire. Strip malls in mountain valleys.
