Have you been to Old Town lately? Man, it’s not like it used to be when I was growing up in the 80’s and 90’s. Still miss it though, and probably pretty affordable and pretty central to the bigger towns.

I sold my house there last year, moved to NH in 2019 to take care of my dad. OTES was really good for my kids.

Yeah, there were two meth houses not far from us that were raided in the past few years, and a couple of sketchy areas, but I felt safe enough to let my kids bike to school most days & let them run around down the park without helicoptering.
