    Excellent documentary. It’s a beautiful area that I’ve visited several times. I was aware in general of the challenges faced by the local community and economy. It was good to hear their stories firsthand.

    The road to the rural regions is paved with broken promises from those who express good intentions but fail to act.

    The housing crisis in downeast Maine creates barriers for new entrants/new family formation that are so significant that these communities simply cannot grow and are on trajectories of steep full time population decline. Look at school enrollments in nearly any of these communities to see clear evidence that these places are on trajectories to be unviable in terms of being functional places for year round residents to live.

    Cool video. Great info ℹ️ (pacing would be better without the “fade to black”)

    Great documentary video. Very well done. Sounds like Stonington needs government to do less *to* them more than do more for them.

    Sea Level in the gulf of Maine used to be 120 meters lower than it is now. I think we will be ok. Living on the coast not to far from here I do worry about the fisheries. Nice film thanks

    We have so many people seeking asylum, and so many will come due to climate change, maybe move them to these dying towns, revive the towns, give the people somewhere to live and bring their skills. Win win
