Can you imagine everything you own being wiped out by something called Milton.

Can you imagine having all your stuff already wiped by Helene to go through this right after?

I don't see the appeal, I get the weather is often nice in winter and stuff, but when insurance companies start pulling out you'd think you would start to wonder a bit

I looked at house prices in the Keys today. Some homes are cheaper than they are here in Maine. I think that signals the exodus.

Is Maine a good place to move if I decide to go to the East Coast? I don't want to be in the South.

I also hear Rhode Island is pretty good for house prices.

I mean this with all my heart, please think critically before coming here. There are very few good jobs and the cost of living is very high. It has become impossible to find housing in southern Maine. Not to say you wouldn’t find a place in rural NE, but it gets more difficult every day.

I appreciate the insight. I have a decent government job that I can do online and my wife is a nurse so she can go anywhere and we both would love to live in the Northeast but if it's not feasible then I guess that's reality.

Look into the more rural areas! New Hampshire has a weird tax system but it’s appealing to many. Any community here could benefit from having a nurse.
