They may have also been downvoted for implying that a global housing crisis is directly caused by people “from away” moving to Maine.

People migrating to Maine helped increase demand, but pandemic-related supply chain issues increased costs and created delays for new homes. Two administrations worth of bad monetary policy created inflation. Add in NIMBY backlash to every proposed development in populated Maine areas, and you have a recipe for rising home prices that people are demanding be fixed without building new properties.

It’s a lot more complex than blaming a few Massholes.
