Way too much thought going into this observation. And btw twitter was a public company at the time. Moving on.

It’s not a matter of guilt. It’s a political organization using its power to influence what was supposed to be an open forum to try to minimize the opposing view. Not sure why it’s a hard concept. The article was pretty straight forward. It’s politics.

I would have said the same regardless of party but your bias is clear. A leader is responsible for setting the course and culture. Can’t fall back on the excuse “it was my team not me”.

No surprises here. He is a politician, always has been.

My mistake. You are correct. It was Cumberland town not county. I originally made the argument because I know there are a large number of lower income homes and properties in neighborhoods you don’t see. A blanket description of all residents is inaccurate. But I do agree that the most vocal groups in Cape are NIMBY folks who like to feel virtuous by talking a good game as long as it’s on someone else’s field. I have lived in the SoPo side of town for 20 years and the town has changed over the past 20 years and has moved to consistently Democratic voters who one might think would be welcoming based on their yard signs.
I wonder how a low income proposal in the middle of the gentrified Portland west end would fly.

Cape is not as rich as you might think. A small subset skews the data. The average income is only 6K above Cumberland county average. Figuring there are a bunch of multi millionaires on Shore Road that skew upwards the average my guess is most of the town is just average.

Calvary Cemetery in South Portland is good too. It is where the Irish were buried.

This is a great easy hike in a blueberry barren with beautiful panoramic views. Just up the hill from Union. Clary Hill Preserve https://maps.app.goo.gl/WCgdhEu1D6xucayd7?g_st=ic
