Aye, I remember when I lived in Twin Mountain NH, people complaining about this. In massachusetts, it's a bit of a different story. The places all made money before, and now they make so much money that it's working against the people trying to rent a place here - or harder yet, buy.

Sounds like what my friends in Vermont (some of them are realtors themselves) are saying!!

That kind of forced-move, eh. God speed, and best of luck!
