A Canadian from Montreal here, I’ve been vacationing in Maine for the past 40 years. It’s the closest ocean point from Montreal, approximately 300 miles through beautiful Vermont and the white mountains of New Hampshire. The coast of Maine is gorgeous, from Portsmouth NH all the way north. Ogunquit has a beautiful clean beach. People are friendly. Why is Maine safe, it’s pretty obvious. Homogeneous demographic, less density, colder climate, the last state up in the north east. Many wealthy people from Boston (only a 90 minute drive) own cottages along the coast. I have travelled to several places in the US and Maine remains my favourite place.

I live in Tennessee. We have one of the highest violent crime rates in America. It's largely because of a few neighborhoods of the major cities. I lived in Memphis for seventeen years. One of America's most dangerous cities. I now live in a small town called Parsons, which Briggs has actually mentioned in a previous video. The crime rate here is lower than the national average. I'm sorry but we have to acknowledge the giant elephant in the room. What do you think the town I live in now shares in common with the state of Maine? It's definitely not because it's cold here in Tennessee! Let's stop dancing around the truth. The reason why Maine and towns like Parsons, TN are so safe is because they're both homogenous white areas. When it's white and/or Asian it's much safer than if it's other demographics. This is a fact. It's not racism. It's fact. I love the fact that America is the world's most diverse country but that comes with its own set of challenges.

@Kama Baronson That makes up only a very small portion of the Asian community. It like the Italian Mafia or white supremacists groups for white people. Overall the crime rates in both communities are very low. Gang crime is so bad in black and Latino communities that those neighborhoods have organizations to try to prevent youths from joining gangs. One of black parent's worst fears is that their kids will start hanging with gangbangers. Memphis is more dangerous than any city in California.

My family summered in Maine for 23 years at their Summer cottage on China Lake. It was such a beautiful place to be. The locals were very friendly. The only crime that affected us was property crime when we were not there. Vacation cottages were routinely broken into in the Fall looking for something of value to take to a pawn shop, but did not damage anything. I am sure they were very disappointed. I wanted to live there full time after I was discharged from the US ARMY in 1971, but the unemployment rate was 20 % and I could not find a job to support my family. I am sure that the violent crime rate in the few cities there was low because drug gangs could not tolerate the long cold Winters. Also the feeling of community was stronger because of the lack of diversity. When everyone looks like you, lives like you, and speaks with the same Downeast Mainer accent you do, people just get along better. It is actually a tribal community, but in a good way, because they look out for friends and family.

760 comments when I posted this. But in the Brigg's sort by top comments list, you can't find anything about the low number of a certain demographic. And when you go to the sort by recent comments list it is like 95% focus on the lack of a particular segment of American society. I have pointed out Brigg's prejudices, well, not a whole lot of times. But enough for him (excuse the gender assumption) to just ban my comments like the book burner A hole he consistently proves himself to be.

There’s a HUGE reason why Maine is a phenomenal place, and it lies in the prideful hearts of their citizens which is predicated on the culture they’ve maintained since before they were an actual state. I’d go so far as to say that all of the great things we love about Maine would disappear without them, just look what happened to parts of Connecticut (“Homicide” Hartford is a good place to start).

Briggs, speaking of snow and low crime rates, a true story. When I was a young police officer in Washington, I took a burglary report from an apartment complex where a new large flat screen TV was stolen from the recreation room. After taking the report, I followed the tracks in the snow to the apartment where the burglar took the TV. Yes, really. It was recovered, no charges were filed but they were evicted.

(3:45) "Maine has a low poverty rate" That is actually not true and having lived in Maine my entire life, I would know. In fact, Maine is one of the poorest states in the union. The average median income is only $35,000 and despite having a healthy ecosystem, we pay the highest state and federal taxes in the nation at 20%. Bills are often high as well and the average mainer puts 65% of their income towards bills alone depending on their county. No, we're not rich by any stretch, but we just know how to live within our means/budget. Another issue is job labor. Because 75%+ jobs are labor jobs in our state; most of which are strenuous, many end up with injuries when they age and have to supplement their health due to injuries or disabilities. Maine also struggles (and has struggled) with food shortages (food deserts); especially our local markets. This is due to supply chain issues, lack of workforce and incentives for businesses to setup shop in our state. There were other inaccuracies in your video, but this topic seemed the most relevant to address.🤨

I ve lived in Maine for over 6 decades, have traveled the world, and lived in other states for short periods and I can comfortably predict that “ southern ME “ in particular is loosing the moniker ie “safe and friendly”. As the influx of people escaping social and economic instability from away migrate here, they unavoidably break innate characteristics with them that dominate the social, and political landscape, which alters how people think of their community and their role in it. This includes indiscriminate crime. This has been quite visible to me anecdotally since 2020. Maine is historically and currently has one of the top 5 overall tax and surcharge burdens in the country. Even giving away money can’t fix this issue.

They learn from a young age to do what is right, correct without prejudice. Case in point. I was ridding towards the Lakes region on my motorcycle. Had just left Houlton and after a couple of hours of ridding just pulled over to check the map, no gps on the bike. I was clearly standing with an open map in my hands. The first vehicle that came by stopped, a semi, it took him about 10 min to back up to where I was. He came over to me, said do not worry. We will figure a way to get the bike on my trailer and I will take you to the nearest HD dealer. I was shocked to see such care and concern from a perfect stranger. That is ME, and that is why I want to move there. The people are real.
