I live in Southern Midcoast Maine. I love Maine. I grew up here, left and worked like hell to get back. It was hard being single, but eventually met my partner and solved that problem. What I now see as the biggest negative is poorly controlled development. Rural communities desperate for growth approve development without having good planning in place, encouraging sprawl and all the negative baggage ensuing. Housing is in high demand but infrastructure isn’t ready for increasing population, and we are not doing enough to protect what draws people to Maine.
