I am wondering what the group of summer residents in Northeast Harbor think is going to happen when the people who clean their house and mow their lawns no longer can work for them because they have no place to live. This is not some giant public housing project. I think this is NIMBYism at its worst.

They would deny a working person a place to live at a reasonable cost. Shades of “let them eat cake.” The legal cost alone is enough to feed a family for a couple of months I am sure. To what end? Where is the human decency and respect for all people, not just the ones in your class?
