ight. What do you think zoning is? It's not just "you can't build multifamily homes and must have cars everywhere", it's the entire concept of having regulations around which kinds of buildings can be which places. What zoning laws in maine are you envisioning here?

It’s no parking because of the layout and angle of the parking spots, and handicap zone, it’s purpose is not a pedestrian safe zone. You’re pulling that claim out of your ass, you don’t know what you’re talking about. It’s only purpose is a stop sign. I go to that Walmart a few times a week, I live five minutes from there, I’m very familiar with it.

You obviously don’t know anything about site plans and what is required. It’s a very obvious design problem. People get in accidents, some responsibility definitely lies with property owners to design their spaces to prevent accidents, not cause them. You sound like a ranting middle schooler acting like they have the whole world figured out.

Your house is never quite finished…always working on it

If your camp is actually a camp and not a summer home.

Ah shit, guilty as charged. Turnip's fucking delicious.

You are 15. It’s 20 degrees and you are walking to school wearing just a hoodie. No gloves or hat.

There are actually 30 deer in the trunk. It's basically a clown car except instead of clowns, deer.

Your comparing 80 a month over 20 years to a huge out of pocket expense. It doesn't matter if over 20 years the roof is cheaper if you can't afford it now.

Which is my point. A new roof is not cheaper than your current rent cost.

You complain about everything.

you're not looking for a Mainer if you're expecting complete sentences.

To the best of my knowledge the one in Rangeley is still on.

All taxes are regressive. Very few areas need zoning for planning services. 90% of Zoning in Maine is Nimbyism created by flatlanders who move up here build a house fill the driveway with 2.5 Subarus and begin stopping people from doing exactly what they did.

You're still drinking ice coffee with negative temps.

I cant help but think there's a couple dents on the front of that car.

me too love them turnips

you look forward to extreme cold so the people from away stay in the lodge creating no line for the lifts!!

When you look at the forecast, shrug, and say "Could be worse."

Frankly, stoicism has always been a Yankee trait, especially with Mainers, but it seems to be becoming a thing of the past as I see more and more posts on this thread.

You pronounce ‘rural’ with only one syllable

you try to leave for work, but there is a swamp donkey with a baby standing in your dooryahd.

Oh no. I really am a Mainer.

I think Current You needs to take advice from Past You.

>Stay away from home built after 1980. The quality of materials had drastically decreased since that time frame. If possible homes built in the 1880-1950’s era are best. Quality construction and builders that actually took pride in their craft.

Past You would probably find some flaws in repealing all those pesky building codes.

Glad you agree! Be well!

Right!

Got a message from my kids superintendent last night, they can wait in the house the bus will still stop. This morning it was 22 degrees at 4am. Yesterday however it was 4. I get that this afternoon the Temps will drop like a rock but come on..

It’s… beautiful

Some people have forefathers. That family has 6.
