I was born in Portsmouth NH and raised in York Maine Graduated from York High in 1977.. the cost of living in my home town has driven most of us away who were so fortunate to grow up there. Extremely sad to see many natives driven out by the cost of taxes. My parents left the area upon retirement due to the unbearable increase in taxes. The cost of living is ginormous! Also to get to York you must travel the I 95 N corridor....a drivers nightmare on the summer. And I 95A to get around York in the summer is a frustrating mess. Most stores in York cater to the summer tourists and prices go sky high for basic needs...gas, milk, water and electricity. Such a beautiful area that the average Joe can barely afford to visit ( check out hotel rates) let alone live there. Another disadvantage are the true natives who have managed to hold on to their way of lives and still live there, don't really appreciate the influx of new dwellers and you will be made well aware of this in their attitudes towards you.
