I'd love to move to freeport if housing became more affordable there. WTF is wrong with people?!

Oh, this will absolutely not be affordable. It'll be condos with gray vinyl laminate flooring starting in the low 600's.

Eh that's like Portland peninsula pandemic pricing. I don't think you're going to get that price in a town with the shittiest food scene in coastal Maine, no night life, and it's just a glorified mall.

But still good public schools, so people with children pay big money. Freeport prices are comparable to Yarmouth and Cumberland which are similarly sized towns.

Unfortunately, it is all about that school district

Some folks don't want affordable housing in their town. They want to keep living there out of reach for most people.
