Visit first, then ask questions. You're just dreaming with s keyboard with no research on your part..

What would make you assume we haven't visited and been researching?

There's tons of research already done and money ready to pull it off so it's not dreaming. We've visited both Maine and Vermont lots of times. But there's not enough years to visit every potential place we'd live. We'd just be visiting and researching our whole lives. But some things are better asked than diving into the intricacies of the zoning laws of an infinite number of potential places we'd be living .

It's what places like this are for. Anything you ask here could be researched endlessly online but sometimes it's better to ask locals who are from the place.

If you don't want to contribute that's fine....but just saying to research something that can be asked simply rather than researching aimlessly questions that could be answered much faster here...is kind of silly

I mentioned it another comment . New York state is a police state. Laws created for NYC affect the whole state and their economy is different than the rest of the state so it creates for a state that's really more legislated than it need to be

For example? What "NYC-centric" laws in upstate NY do you think you'll avoid in Maine or Vermont?

There's a lot. And I don't want to turn this thread into that. Suffice it to say I'm not "running" away from NY state, we just prefer the land, region and feel of the outdoors in Vermont and Maine.

And no hostility intended this is more aimed at all the anti newcomers in this thread...Maine is part of the US and as an American, I have the right to buy land and live anywhere in the US I want.

Definitely have your right to prefer one to the other, of course. I was just curious because it might seem to you that you would have different rules in New England but in reality they could be more similar than you realize to upstate in many towns. But I suppose you have most likely done your homework on that, I just don't have the foggiest in what you are referencing exactly.
