Excellent documentary. It’s a beautiful area that I’ve visited several times. I was aware in general of the challenges faced by the local community and economy. It was good to hear their stories firsthand.

Cool video. Great info ℹ️ (pacing would be better without the “fade to black”)

The housing crisis in downeast Maine creates barriers for new entrants/new family formation that are so significant that these communities simply cannot grow and are on trajectories of steep full time population decline. Look at school enrollments in nearly any of these communities to see clear evidence that these places are on trajectories to be unviable in terms of being functional places for year round residents to live.

this video speaks to me

The road to the rural regions is paved with broken promises from those who express good intentions but fail to act.

[@robertamurphy1124]

Please help me find an affordable rental!:LOVE IT THERE! AN OLD HOUSE!

[@OhArchie]

Great documentary video. Very well done. Sounds like Stonington needs government to do less *to* them more than do more for them.

Sea Level in the gulf of Maine used to be 120 meters lower than it is now. I think we will be ok. Living on the coast not to far from here I do worry about the fisheries. Nice film thanks

To bad none of the young guys can get a lobster license when the old lobster man gets done he keeps his license for the last 15 years while he is in the nursing home the family sells the house to some from Mass

[@William_McDowell]

Reading the Book of Revelation helps with fears of Global Warming! Truly!

We have so many people seeking asylum, and so many will come due to climate change, maybe move them to these dying towns, revive the towns, give the people somewhere to live and bring their skills. Win win

[@elzippo488]

You've obviously been living under a rock or off grid. The US is collapsing because of "democrat asylum policies". Please get a grip, please get a clue.

[@melanielane]

@@elzippo488 I’m so glad you like intellectual conversation and how to prove your point with detailed, indisputable facts. Well done.
