Some of the weirdness about Maine seems to be how such a high proportion of new builds are purchased by people who don't live here, and not just for purposes of renting them out. I'm currently effectively in a ghost town, most of the homes built in the last 10 years seem to not have year-round locals living in them

Everywhere is suffering from a housing crisis, it does seem to be a little worse here than some of the other states I was used to
