In Rangeley, that pressure is especially acute. Roughly three-quarters of the town’s housing units sit vacant most of the year—seasonal homes and second homes that do nothing to house the people who keep Rangeley running.

Across the country, voters approved ballot initiatives that cap rents and impose new restrictions on landlords' ability to rent to whom they please. The most eye-catching of these was a successful initiative in Elizabeth, New Jersey, where 68 percent of voters revived a cap on annual rent increases of $20 per month that the city council had axed back in 2023.

This 188-Year-Old Maine Home Looks Like a Nostalgic Christmas Card

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." You could assume that moving from the hustle and bustle of New York City to the tight-knit community of Lovell, Maine (population: 1,104), might lead to having a smaller social circle, but for Sean Litchfield and Zachary Violette, that was surprisingly not the case. It turns out that buying a classic Greek Revival home on a 1.5-acre lot in the middle of town was plenty to garner greetings and goodwill. "When we moved in, a steady stream of people began arriving with pies," says Zachary. "Everyone knows the 'Kimball-Chandler house,' so they all knew who we were pretty quickly."
