I don't want to jump out of state yet (at least out of New England).

@Patrick Flanagan Not to be a wet blanket but there’s very little construction in my area of Northern New England for public housing due to costs right now.

The largest has an Applebees, a Walmart, a Lowe’s, a Home Depot, and a 99 restaurant which is new englands version of a Chili’s.

Here in Maine and in most of New England we have high property taxes.

The northeast new england coastal areas are mostly 2-3% at best.
