Roscoe is funny because I really hunted around that area for a place before giving that up and finding something in vermont.
I didn't want to go to far from CT. because of family back there, but was looking for lower cost housing and a better deal with taxes, vermont was a better deal.
I'm probably better off in vermont because it's like weirdo city up here so I don't stick out compared to some of the strange people up here.
Trust me it's weirdo city up there too
i was worried it would be yuppie city.
I spent a lot of time searching real estate and taxes and health insurance costs, western MASS had some nice places, but the health insurance was unreal.
The only thing that sucks about this place is the locals are cold to out of state people except in retail places where they are trying to make money, than they are all sorts of phoney friendly, don't lay it on thick or nothing, but it seems a lot of people up here have a chip on their shoulder if somebody wasn't born here.
Everything is the fault of the flatlanders as out of state people are called. Reality is the state is run like a southern mill town with the boss hog mentality, only people from the right families and from old family money get to make a decent living and the trailer trash get the scraps and used as cheap labor.
