"Diversity", huh? "Diversity" is code for "hating whitey, and whitey's civilization" which is reason #1 to NOT move to Maine.

11. Maine has the worst drivers in the nation, and is loaded with socialist voters who'll sell their soul for a guarantee of a subsistence income.

11. Maine has one of the lowest per capita incomes in the country.

12. Maine has one of the highest, if not the highest, tax rates in the country.

13. A warm winter day in the County is -10 F. (sorry that is a good point).

14. Moose are a semi protected species.

15. Excellent CC Laws.

16. Suzie Collins and Ollie Snowe are senators, at least it ain't that twit from Rhode Island.

17. Stephen King is a moving target.

They can't afford the gas to drive around from dusk on, owing to the "subsistence income" factor....

By the way, there's a reason for this.

Maine ranked 49 out 51 (that's very bad) on the Small Business Survival Index. To put it in perspective, California ranked #46.. in other words, fuggeddaboudit.

46 California 52.250
47 New Mexico 52.440
48 Minnesota 53.610

49 Maine 53.810

50 Hawaii 54.720
51 District of Columbia 60.115

For God's Sake, don't let the Socialists running the state get wind of this....

Wait, it wouldn't matter.

I don't know about that. I think AZ is worse. Last year Phoenix was #1 in the nation in accidents caused by idiots running red lights. Tucson was #2. And, I lived in ME for 4 years.
