> in North Yarmouth you should be able to build 4-5 two family homes on an acre lot. Instead, right now, you can only have one single family home on a 3 acre lot.
But this is exactly what those people want. They want a white, wealthy enclave where only millionaires can afford to live.

Maine will have to go to all towns near to urban areas and change the zoning to accommodate more housing, particularly multi family housing.
As an example, in North Yarmouth you should be able to build 4-5 two family homes on an acre lot. Instead, right now, you can only have one single family home on a 3 acre lot.
That is absurd. Three acres isn’t enough for a working farm anyway, so why waste acreage and prevent any attempt to address the housing and apartment shortage?

Sucks that lands too expensive to build on and we get less snow every year

I’ve been saying this for a while. Development is the only solution and for that you need builders. Things like (severe) rent control are not exactly encouraging that to take place.

Not sure if they work that far south but we used Sundog, and they were able to get it done 5 months sooner than Revision. We’ve been happy with their work.

Maine Solar Solutions is great, and much more responsive than Revision. Fantastic company to work with.

Quote from the article:
MaineHousing says a decade of not building enough homes and apartments only made the homeless crisis worse.
"And that's how we're going to get out of this long-term, is to just keep building more," Brennan said.
He says we'll need at least 1,000 apartments built each year over the next 10 years, and hundreds of new homes, to meet the housing need in Maine.”
Fuck.

This opened a drive account with folders to different towns. I had recently been looking at my hometown’s historical society Facebook and the photos in that drive folder were some I’ve never seen before. So cool!

The shop was there for a few months maybe a year? The statue has been there 10x longer.

They arent different species, but different breeds. Same with dogs, all domesticated dogs are the same species. But my point was mainly that laying hens take much longer to raise than, meat chickens.

No, meat chickens are a totally different species from laying chickens. About as different as chihuahuas and dobermans. They're mutants, really. Congenitally obese and die of heart attacks if you don't eat them.

You don’t need to go to N Yarmouth. Imagine how many homes for the homeless you could build on Riverside golf course
