Just as important as affordable housing and jobs are schools. If you want young families to come and stay, you need a good school system.

This has been a major problem on the island communities in Maine. They don't have enough young people to keep the schools open, so no young families move in and their homes become vacation rentals. This is how a community dies and once you loose your schools, its very hard to start again from scratch.
