If the neighbor complaining is from New York, kindly send him a note to return there. Maine don't need any more 'city folk'. No, NIMBY is a problem. I read the article in the paper and the affordable housing was a condition of the federal money the city of Waterville is planning to use. Also, someone needs to remind this 'new yorker' that people that need affordable housing are probably retired or disabled. When I lived in Maine I used to dread the 'out-of-staters' who arrived with their plans to make Maine just like where they came from. I'm about a year away from returning to Maine to retire, and even though I don't qualify for low income housing, I'm not rich either. Just hope this guy doesn't decide to get into politics. He's probably a retired Goldman Sachs employee..
