Not surprisingly, ME has almost the exact same issues as here, specially WRT new arrivals (see 'moving to maine' threads) and the impact on natives.

Still, my spouse's job is in VT, all our friends are in VT, I close my eyes and see my stomping grounds in VT; and, should I live long enough, hope to have a small bug-out camp somewhere in the woods/forests that I know like the back of my hand, in VT.

My rants are done. Someone else can ring the wake-up bell.
