friday of ghost, ME So tell us Johnstoner...what is a low income neighborhood? You should think before you talk. Who wants to buy one of your paper houses? Hurricaine Maine.report abuse

frankstower of Gardiner, ME And as someone else pointed out, besides the school, what's in the area that you can walk to without crossing a major route? Even then, it's only Food Trend!

And I'm sorry but people like their privacy and the one thing that place will definitely NOT have, is any privacy. Trees, anyone? Even if they reach their goal of 40 plus houses, what they'll end up with is 40 cookie cutter houses surrounded by 40 different styles of privacy fence!

Wouldn't all that money have been put to better use let's say, fixing up 40 houses that are already built and for sale, making them more "green", as they say, and then help those same 40 families get into them at an affordable price??

Then again, they would have had too much money left over doing it that way.report abuse

frankstower of Gardiner, ME I sometimes wonder how supposedly intelligent people can make such bone headed decisions. Houses to START at 150k??? With the glut of homes there is on the market already? Here's my guess... you'll never see the 20th house being built in there, let alone the 42nd or whatever the number was that they gave. Maybe they should have stayed with the original number of 6! Seriously, how do you make a leap like that in THIS economy??

So, basically they're shooting for a "Mattson" like complex, albeit with single family homes instead of 8 unit apartment buildings.

Diddo of Augusta, ME I have to agree with most of these posts. There are two houses so close I actually thought it was a garage for the other house. This is a poorly thought out concept in my opinion. They are asking way too much for these "little camps".
Then only about a mile away or through the woods as the crow flies near the intersection of Rt 105 & Cony Rd, there's an ambious developer putting in high end houses, $200,000 up. This development has been in the works for 3 or 4 years at least, and they are still working on it with no buyers. Seems like a poor time to push for these developments with all the recycled homes for sale at bargain prices.report abuse
