The issue is that they have basically dismantled mental health in this state. All the places that the mentally ill were housed have been systematically shut down or reduced to where they no longer can take care of the people that need it. There are thousands that were in mental health facilities that no longer have anywhere to go and this is increasing because they are no longer helping anyone.

Apples and oranges.

Morgantown is at the intersection of 2 major interstates and has a major university located in it. Nothing in Maine like it.

Coal is everywhere in WVa, same with shale gas. Pollution is everywhere. Large farms are cheap. Some state road corridors have more hookers than laborers, and the gas workers from TX, OK and WY are more than happy to utilize their services.

Maine is way different.
