I lived in Maine from 2002-2007 and I can't drive and it was awful but I had good friends there.. But still isn't worth living unless you can afford it and have a car to drive from A-B places... I'm in NH now.

I live in Maine. On the coast. I work hard I help my elderly friends. I camp,hunt,trap and a lobstah now and then. Yes it's expensive. But our government sux!!! And if it was not so fraudulent it would fix its own capital Augusta from people drugged out on the sidewalk. And the police just drive by. But most of the coast is a great way of life! And people work hard! You don't work you can't afford!

The issue people don’t talk about enough is the infestation of Massholes, they ruined their state now they are doing the same thing to Maine.

It's the same in Rhode Island. Covid wiped us out, everyone sold their house to new yorkers. and most of the business collapsed because the workforce was priced out of living accomodations. shame what happened here, I'm still here for a little longer, but know left to improve their lives 100 fold. Really is a shame what happened, especially since politicians here just take take take and everyone suffers.

Shoveling snow and having the street plowers nicely undo it.
Everyone "95%" of the entire state highly concentrated in the southern border.
$400 per month heating cost.
Roasting in the summer.
Noise
Pot holes
After the sun goes down its like a freaking grave yard every single store closes.
Insane taxes
Unfriendly and unwelcoming residents
HSV epidemic.
Minimum wage pay.
Rent is extremely expensive even for a wore out dump.
Takes like an hour to go ten miles down the road to the nearest walmart in somersworth NH.
One lane streets so you are following the slowest drivers and can't pass. On and on it goes

I know one thing with absolute certainty after watching this video: I will never move to Maine. I think my head broke when it was explained that ripoff high prices is something that you just get use to ~ just normal for things to be this way

Squatter Genociders are responsible for the Destruction of Maine. That and the constant smell of the jewish/Chineseish run pot farms EVERYWHERE. Senic Portland with disposesed desitute Stoned White Folk EVERYWHERE. Mostly the Dimsheviks who have destroyed the Traditional Family Farms that once were EVERYWHERE. I remember once talking to an Old Timer who was sitting in his soon to be bankrupt Hardware Store in Bangor 40 years ago. The jew big box HD drove him out. He said after WW2 when the "frendly alien displaced persons" began arriving from the FAKED persecution in Europe loaded with stolen "reparations". He took note that many of these "friendly aliens" soon began to run for public office. The Political methods of these squatter genociders was corruption, blackmail, bribery and Propaganda. He said the change was terrible and destructive to the Maine Culture. Was in a School in Sanford repairing the Boiler and looked around at what the poor WHITE Children were being forced fed. All african nonsense not a thing about being White and Proud to have created what Maine used to be. Rainbow flags all over. Read "Controversy Of Zion" by Douglas Reed he will explain. Even better read all his books in Cronological order starting with "Insanity Fair" written in 1938 when Reed returned from 7 years as a journalist working for the London Times in Berlin. He quit when requested to LIE. He will explain how the present deteriorating situation in the United States got here.

I used to enjoy an occasional whiff of a scar or a pipe even a cigarette but you can't do that anywhere in Maine but it's perfectly okay to smoke marijuana everywhere that's all you can smell everywhere you go smells like a skunk living in the neighborhood the freshmen of the trees and clean air that I expected was not present even in the state parks and tourist attractions there are people sitting on top of picnic tables smoking marijuana walking down the streets smoking marijuana driving in their cars smoking marijuana sounds like they have lost a very important part of what tourism in Maine was used to be

I hope you people stay away. I was born here (Maine) and except for 6.5 years in the military , have lived here all my life. If you can’t see how special Maine is you probably should stay home. Definitely don’t move here.

someones comment reminded me how the ex Gov. LePage once said that we needed to put an end to black drug dealers from out of state impregnating our white girls. That statement caused quite the outrage. i think LePage was not saying the problem was in black people, he meant to say the problem was in a bigoted society that would snub white girls with brown babies. and give them an uphill battle life. What's wrong with saving someone fron an uphill battle life? The statement didn't warrant a retraction. Yet Paul eventually retracted. The democrats weren't interested in what good he meant . to them it looked like excellent opportunity to humiliate and embarass him,which they did.

Life on a small limited budget is hard everywhere in America. Trump has destroyed America for everyone but the very wealthy. Food, gas, utilities are killing us. No healthcare except for the chosen few.

Ticks are a part of life in New England. The media has blown up the tick "problem" and people that aren't used to them freak out like everyone did over covid. Lyme Disease sucks but is treatable and you can live with it without knowing most of the time. People need to chill out about ticks.

Back in the 1960s I first visited Maine and fell in love with the state. For decades I visited, established friendships. bought a 75 acre tract of land, built a small vacation cabin. In the beginning my dream was to live there permanently. I was working in a factory in NJ and taking college courses at night. As the years went by reality set in. I saw a lot of poverty and a lot of people just getting by. I wanted to teach high school. It would have been a bad decision. At least not in Maine. I finally sold my land and cabin, said goodbye to all the good memories. Today I am a retired teacher (22 years ago) living in the northwestern mountains of North Carolina. This article is so very accurate, in my opinion, I understand completely.

I love to stay to Maine in the late 80s because it was nothing here there was no real job there was nothing here in the late 80s you could work on a farm you could move to like Auburn or Portland But then you still get paid nothing you were lucky to get minimum wage or just above it in this state and then the state tax on top of it take half your check away right now they're taking 40% of my check in taxes in the state of Maine what the fuck and why are we so far behind everything if we're taking so much fucking money from everybody why aren't we right up there with everybody else why are we so far behind a technology and everything else because this state is full of corrupt fucking politicians
