That's an interesting way to think about it--I moved away because there's no work and I don't really ever want to own a car again. I miss parts of it. It's a nice place. (I grew up in Casco, went to high school in Naples, and one of my biggest clients right now--their lead devops guy went to my high school a decade before me!)
But as a community, it troubles me. But...it's a sand trap. I wish it were otherwise.
I'd absolutely not recommend young people move here, unless they want something just plain middle class and hard work. To live here and truly enjoy it as I do, really takes a great deal of money.
