Ruined by pandemic, Not worth cost to live here
-

Used to be great before the pandemic. Now people from out of state have ruined it by paying New York prices for real estate site unseen. Why would you live in Maine when it's now much cheaper to live in a real city like Chicago. Portland is the only place in Maine with any culture (all 66,000 residents). The coast is nice for a month or two out of the year when it is warm enough to enjoy. Want nature? Pick any number of other places that are more beautiful and majestic (and more untouched now that Maine has been ruined). Will be cheaper. Almost anywhere with a warm climate (with the exception of LA) is more affordable at this point.
