Reply to comment by mymaineaccount46 in Maine residents - what do you find positive and negative about your state's low population density? by LockedOutOfElfland

You in north or central?

This is exactly the reason why I love Maine. I drive 30-45 minutes to the store and maybe have one truck pass me. My husband is from a very small rural town here and I am from nj where even a store that is less than a mile away takes 20 minutes to get to a( without parking) . We have two tiny daughters and are trying to buy a house in said town but it’s been nearly impossible . Rightfully so.

I'm near Bangor actually, so it is fairly populated within about ten-fifteen minutes of me. It's just where I am is 10 minutes back windy, dirt camp roads.
