[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, how old are your DCs? No teen wants to live on 1-4 acres with no Uber or public transit. They'll wonder why you ripped them out of their rowhouse.[/quote]

As someone who knows teens in rural New England, you have no idea what you're saying. [/quote]

That's fascinating. What do these teens like to do in the rural Maine?

School, sports, friends, what did you expect? It's not really any different from suburban DC for a lot of these kids. Then you have the kids who really embrace the outdoors lifestyle, in addition to outdoor activities it's also helping their parents take care of their multiple acres, mowing, gardening, even some livestock. My cousin in NH keeps chickens and her teen daughter is the one who takes care of the chickens and has her own vegetable plot. Her son is on a traveling soccer team that plays in statewide competitions and in looking at colleges very much wants to be at a rural LAC, no interest in cities.

If you think it's a bunch of bored kids on meth, then let me introduce you to poor urban DC before you start making sweeping generalizations. [/quote]
