[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would not worry about healthcare/dental/therapies, much, in New England

Political conservatism is very real, even in Vermont

Neglected kids at prestigious prep schools… also a thing

+1. I grew up in suburban ME (Portland suburbs) and would not go more rural than that because:

-schools: kids will be in big regional schools that require lots of driving if you are in a rural area and good privates (day schools) are few and far between and will also require lots of driving

-medical care: pretty good in southern ME (Portland area) but you would need to go to Boston for anything specialized

-political conservatism: this is real…NE conservatism is more libertarian or independent leaning, but different from DC…it can also be hard to break into suburban or rural NE communities socially if you did not grow up in the state

-driving: there is so much driving and everything is spread out. Hard for young people to have independence if they don’t have a car. I would find living in rural NE isolating.

-job market: if you can’t get another remote job it may be hard to find something local - especially something that pays well.[/quote]
