I don't know if I've written this here previous to this, so here goes.
We get lots of people moving near us, understand that "near us" is within a mile or so. Lots (most?) of them come from in town. Near as I can figure they're trying to get away from the problems living in town cause by moving out to a simpler life. But they just don't understand that no matter how fast or far they run they just can't get away from themselves.
The latest ongoing civil war in the cites has made the situation worse by putting ideas in peoples heads that they didn't contribute to the problem (they voted for this crap) and that they don't want to be there for the final act. So they come here. People are buying land and homes sight unseen, just what they see in realty listings. They are that desperate. I guess I can't blame them, but in Maine the problem is the mindset of folks living in the cities and southern Maine. So they bring their baggage with them and of course they know more than anyone else. Of course it's pure BS, but they don't know that.
Yes Fuzzy, they could use a little "talking to". Many times just living out here for a year or so smartens them up and they go back to where they came from. But I think those folks are just going to use it as a refuge.
